Also not funny . . . =20

What's the difference between a preacher and a proctologist?  A proctolog=
ist knows the difference between his ass and a hole in the ground.

Dear Friends:

If I were a minister who'd just spent an evening teaching on "The Sin of =20
Homophobia" in a widely-advertised local lecture, I think I might have =20
refrained from publishing a not-very-funny or well-designed homophobic jo=
ke =20
in my magazine--unless I wanted to appear both hypocritical and homophobi=
c =20
at the same time.

Doug Wilson, in the latest *Credenda Agenda:*

"The reason Episcopalians can=E2=80=99t play chess any more is that they =
have =20
forgotten the difference between a bishop and a queen."

Oooh.  My side.  It's splitting.   There's just nothin' funnier than call=
ing =20
clergy members by degrading and homophobic names.  And since Episcopalian=
s =20
are so well known for playing chess, it's a particularly apposite joke, t=
oo.

Homophobia--it's a sin, unless you can get a cheap laugh with it.

Melynda Huskey
