"Hello, Mrs. Lovejoy," says Feelgood. "I see you are pregnant again. How many kids will it be now?"
"This will be my fourteenth," replies Mrs. Lovejoy.
"My God!" cries Feelgood, almost choking on his cigar. "Why on earth do you have so many children?"
"Well," says Mrs. Lovejoy, "I love my husband very much."
"And I love my cigar," replies Feelgood. "But I take it out of my mouth once in a while!"
Kowalski meets Slobovia at the Pig and Whistle Pub for a few after-dinner beers.
"Hey Kowals," asks Slobovia, "how come you let your wife do whatever she wants to do?"
"Well," replies Kowalski, "because she has a perfect right." Then Kowalski adds, "And she has a pretty good left, too!"
When a persistent pain does not ease after several days, Pope the Polack makes an appointment to see his doctor. During the examination the doctor is shocked to find a bouquet of flowers lodged in the pope's rectum.
"Where the hell did these come from?" the doctor asks, removing a rose.
"I'm not sure," says the holy celibate, blushing, "why don't you read the card?"
Nivedano, beat the drum -- and everybody goes into absolute and total craziness!
(Drumbeat)
(Gibberish)
Now be silent. Close your eyes.
Feel as if your body is frozen; gather your energy inwards.
Deeper and deeper ...
This is the Way of the Birds, the way of Zen.
To make it deeper, Nivedano ...
(Drumbeat)
And everybody dies.
This death will make you more aware of your life in ...
Beyond body and mind is the master.
Without any fear, go deeper and deeper.
The deeper you go the more you know that you are immortal and death is only a fiction.
At the deepest point in this moment is contained your whole eternity.
Nivedano ...
(Drumbeat)
Come back to life resurrected, showered with silence, filled with the fragrance of your own being.
At least in this moment be a buddha and then carry out your buddhahood in your daily activities.
I'm against renouncing anything. Just remember your buddhahood. Then everything is right.
