idiot psychic medium, whatever

[I'll_buy_that]

I can't believe the childish views and descriptions of heaven. "oh its a place with green grass, people fish, you get your old dog back. la de da de da"

It reminds me of stories the nuns would tell in elementary school. I thought they were naive childish views then and haven't changed my mind with age.

My favourite idiotic description of "heaven" is the one supposedly
given to Harry Houdini when he asked a medium why his deceased
mother was suddenly able to speak fluent English when "channeled"
(or whatever it is that mediums pretend to do). Houdini was told;
"In heaven everybody speaks English!"

I've yet to hear a description of heaven that didn't sound so dull it made hell look like fun just for breaking up the boredom.

Seventy-year-old couples, she says, look like they were when they were first married, and “It's all that and more.”

Kind of tough luck on couples married in their late sixties.

"In heaven everybody speaks English!"

Of course they do, otherwise you wouldn't be able to order cheesesteak subs in heaven.

Yes, and also kind of tough on luck on any couple not lucky enough to have a successul marriage. Or are we supposed to believe that you, your ex-wife, your new wife, your mistress, her husband, and his secretary will all live together in peeeaaace and haaarmoneeeeeee?

I got it even if no one else did. I'm surprised the story didn't turn up in the Politics sub-forum.

And of course, all the animals' mates and offspring, and the offsprings' offspring - hey, you wouldn't deny the animals their right to have their own families with them in heaven, would you?

I didn't know puppies made good bait.

Only if you are after catfish.

:) The funniest thing about that sign at Genos, is that the people who it is directed at won't be able to read it anyway! :D
