That's so... uh... what's the word I want, it's sort of a grossed-out approval, signalling "funny" and "disgust" at once...

That's hilaribarf!

That girl is everywhere!

I wish she'd appear with Elvis somewhere.
That's the sign I'm holding out for.

Papal secretary: "Your Holiness, I have good news and bad news".

Pope: "What's the good news?"

Papal secretary: "Jesus has returned to Earth and is on the phone".

Pope: "Praise God! What's the bad news?"

Papal secretary: "He's calling from Salt Lake City."

How's this for a variation on that theme:

Papal secretary: "Your Holiness, I have good news and bad news".

Pope: "What's the good news?"

Papal secretary: "Jesus has returned to Earth and is on the phone".

Pope: "Praise God! What's the bad news?"

Papal secretary: "He's calling from Salt Lake City."

Pope: "Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our d-- Wait, scratch that!"

*sings*

I'm gettin' married in the morning ....

Doesn't that picture imply that Mary was, in fact, NOT a virgin?

I'm wondering how he noticed that the condom looked like virgin mary while upside down. You think he took a picture of the used condom and got lucky?

Perhaps he was walking to throw it away (in the classroom garbage can? lol) and decided to tilt his head upside down and take a gander, just in case.
