New And Improved 10 Commandments
- Thou shalt register thine weapon so that in the event thou dost kill, thou shalt be easily found and reminded of the original "Thou shalt not kill" commandment. And also, it provides ample time to knit thou a lovely gun cosy for Xmas.
- Thou shalt still honour the Sabbath, but in the event thou art scheduled to work, thou mayest swap Sabbaths with someone of a differing religion which has it's Sabbath on thine day off. And also, thou can play cards, drink, and generally be sinful, as long as thou promise to swap penance with someone who's built up a glut of "Heaven Things."
- Thou shalt honour thy legal guardians, unless of course thine therapist suggests they're too dysfunctional to be worth the bother. Also, thou can put them away in a home any old time thou feels like it, but thou should at least try to visit once in a while. OK, how 'bout a phone call? No? Thou art a jerk.
- Thou shalt not covet thine neighbour's spouse, nor their lover that they've taken for the Summer, nor their relatives, nor them either. Thou should buyest a magazine.
- Thou shalt not steal...unless it's antiperspirant. In that case, please dost.
- Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's baked goods, nor their gardening supplies, nor their camper, nor their rotten children, nor that expensive bottle of scotch thou gavest them for Xmas, nor anything that belongs to them. Thou mayest, however, "borrow" any of these items and then conveniently "forget" to take it back - unless it's a perishable food item like coleslaw.
- Thou shalt not take the Lord's name in vain, with the following exceptions:
- Thou hast inadvertently made an appointment with whomever did Tori Spelling's last hairdo.
- Thou hast been saddled with co-workers who useth "action" as a verb.
- It's the second coming and the Lord has returned, but only if the Lord seems confused and has wandered aimlessly onto your estate and they don't look like they're about to do any yardwork.
- Thou shalt not be tiresome in thine conversation, nor in thine choice of clothing, nor in thine work habits. Thou may, however, go jump in the lake.
- Thou shalt not pay a lot for this muffler.
- I am the new improved "Lemon Fresh God" and thou shalt have no Gods before me, not a "Potpourri God" nor a "Meadow Fresh God" nor even a "Double Action Blammo Dirt To Hell God.
