This makes the regular e-mail rounds, and it's not true, but it's still worth repeating...
In Florida, an atheist created a case against the upcoming Easter and Passover Holy days. He hired an attorney to bring a discrimination case against Christians and Jews and observances of their holy days. The argument was that it was unfair that atheists had no such recognized days.
The case was brought before a judge. After listening to the passionate presentation by the lawyer, the judge banged his gavel declaring, “Case dismissed!"
The lawyer immediately stood objecting to the ruling saying, "Your honor, How can you possibly dismiss this case? The Christians have Christmas, Easter and others. The Jews have Passover, Yom Kippur and Hanukkah, yet my client and all other atheists have no such holidays."
The judge leaned forward in his chair saying, "But you do. Your client, counsel, is woefully ignorant."
The lawyer said, "Your Honor, we are unaware of any special observance or holiday for atheists."
The judge said, "The calendar says April 1st is April Fool’s Day. Psalm 14:1 states, 'The fool says in his heart, there is no God.' Thus, it is the opinion of this court, that if your client says there is no God, then he is a fool. Therefore, April 1st is his day. Court is adjourned."

I've actually not seen this one. And although it's not true, the sentiment sure as hell is.
Hey Silverfiddle and Snarky-can't figger out who my dad is,
Who cares if it is true or not, Obama, Reid and Puglosi don't understand the concept.
So let's run with it.
Like man, ain't they telling us what we should do, so I can agree with them for once, let us stretch the truth, since they conclude they can.

Jaded Fellow,
Do you have a blog? Your profile doesn't list one.
You seem like a "circle of life kinda guy... You might like some of my more serious stuff (Your comment on your profile about kids and sprinklers triggered something)
Live out Loud or Die Trying
Yo Silverfiddle,
No blog so far, me and the internet are kinda like me and women, we gotta failure to communicate at times.
Might do the blog site thing in time but I am enjoying the nosing around in other peoples thoughts for the time being.
Just a single dad of 3, down to 2 tho, one has gone on to a better place. So I ain't no big deal.
I'll take you up on the "Live out Loud or Die Trying" invite. It appears to have some female qualities so it will take me some time to figger out how to go there.
Not sure what you mean by "circle of life kinda guy" but I have been called a heck of alot worse so I will just say thanks, I'm sure you meant it as a compliment.
serendipityly yours,
jadedfellow
ps
I ain't all that smart I just got me a purdy good dictionary.
I did mean it as a compliment. I'm a dad, so anyone who puts that up front as part of their identity has my vote.
Parenting ain't easy, especially when you're doing it alone.
God bless you.
