RICIN'S NICE

RICIN’S NICE 

 

He said he’d heard that ricin’s nice.

They said ‘You are a dunce,

it may taste nice if served with rice

but you’ll only eat it once’ 

 

 

(Ricin is a chemical poison present in castor

beans often used as a terrorism agent)

    I had it on my muesli this morn.......

    Sometimes in our Church we are directed which way to go on certain occasions - not many bother so confusion often arises.

    • Michael Edwards

      My wife's church (RC) is usually full to the brim on most Sundays and it becomes quite a feat getting to a pew and going for communion etc. I think they need an Aisleway Code and attendees should have to pass an Aisle Negotiation Test and be issued with licences. Traffic lights may be taking it too far.

      Thanks UNCLE MIKE very highway code funny this morning ! In my parents Church (Catholic) we go up the AISLE to take Communion and always back (to our seats) down the side AISLE ! The seating allows for that !
      Many things we eat contain adverse sustances such a ETHANOL in alcoholic drinks ! Also the amount of oxalic acid in RHUBARB gives one the runs etc. CONFUCIUS HE SAY : Excess kills moderation stimulates ! For the sake of your tummy : Partake of a LITTLE WINE (St Paul to Timothy !)
      Have a great DAY : Love through Odd Odes

        And if you do have an upset tummy Confucius also says: Swinging chain denotes warm seat. Not much good in modern loos though.

        A fine write and pic Michael. Oh woe, sometimes it's 'There's no danger of not getting a seat in some churches, even if one arrives late!'

        • Michael Edwards

          Yes I believe in many it can be a lonely experience.

          • orchidee

            Some church buildings I just don't go to nowadays. I'm getting old! But at any age, who needs a draughty building for about 75 minutes, feeling more uncomfortable and getting chillier as the time goes on, cos some don't put the heating on even? And some sitting about 50 feet away from the front, so don't hear a thing (intentional?). Cooee, no one here but us church mice, and the church cat's busy playing the organ!

            Whatever next... congregational traffic wardens ?... coned off 'aisle works'?... traffic Altar-ations?... One way worship?.... Prayers merging from the left?..... no parking on the vergers?

            Youve put me off my breakfast bowl of ricin crispies... snap, crackle and pop-ya-clogs came to mind.

            • Michael Edwards

              One hour bum parking ticket for a pew and if the service goes over the hour the bum-traffic verger issues a fine.
              If you pop your clogs whilst at church the parking fine can be huge - stear clear of the snap crackles.

              To the point, shouldn't there be "Up" and "Down" arrows. At least for the faithful.
              As to the Ricin, just put it in the "Marmite." No one will notice. Another good chuckle and cartoon. I think your soul may be in danger though. -Phil A.

              • Michael Edwards

                My soul is in great danger according to many - the conclusion of a discussion among friends a few weeks ago was that if God is so loving and caring it will not whether you believe or not that decides whether you get to heaven but rather how you have acted and behaved towards others during your life. Now where's that ricin?

                • MendedFences27

                  The rice is in the rice bin
                  Be sure you get the right bin.
                  For you'll never see the night in
                  If you choose the one with Ricin.
