[Vision2020] Commandments for Farris

[Phil Nisbet]

Carl

Actually there are 613, but whose counting?

The Ten statements, which are composed of 15 imperatives are further defined 
by the 613 mitzvot.  The funniest part of Mel's joke is that the ten have 15 
things required in them, hence his joke.

It interests me that Ralph is runing on about something that seems pretty 
clear.  I suppose he wants us to look at Samaritan tradition or something 
similar and no dount will try to rattle on about them being 'original Jewish 
Thought'.

I do wonder what his point is with regards to swearing out false statements 
in courts of law and its impact on Xtain holidays.

Frankly, I would take him up on his offer, but I know that he is not honest 
enough to actually come up with the cash once shown to be raving again.
