In before the blasphemy law

    A Jewish business man sent his son to Israel for a year to absorb the culture. When he returned he said "Papa, I had a great time in Israel. By the way, I converted to Christianity."
    "Oy vey" said the father. "What have I done?"

    He took his problem to his friend. "Ike, I sent my son to Israel and he came home a Christian. What can I do?"

    "Funny you should say that" said Ike. "I too sent my son to Israel, and he also came home a Christian. Perhaps we should go see the Rabbi."

    So they did, and when they explained the problem the Rabbi said "Funny you should ask. I too sent my son to Israel, and he also came home a Christian. What is happening to our young people? We should pray for guidance."

    They fell to their knees and prayed fervently, telling the Lord about their sons. As they finished a voice came from the heavens:

    "Funny you should ask," the voice said, "I too sent my son to Israel......"

    The cult I'm about to join bans familial relations, therefore I find the words "Papa" and "son" in that joke blasphemous.

    You left out "father" and so my post is only 2/3 blasphemous and therefore doesn't count under the new law. So there!

    It's OK, the law will probably changed next week to define blasphemy as "the act of communicating in any form, whether written or oral".
