2. here is the piece for other people
Insert “Thou Shalt Not” Joke

by Amanda T. of SpeakSpeak News


The schizophrenic Supreme Court ruled yesterday that public display of the Ten Commandments is unconstitutional.

In other news, the schizophrenic Supreme Court ruled yesterday that public display of the Ten Commandments is constitutional.

Here are the basic guidelines: If the Ten Commandments display is presented in a historical context, then you’re safe.

Unless the room is small.

Which you can maybe mitigate by hanging copies of other historical documents — say, the Declaration of Independence, the Emancipation Proclamation, and assorted speeches by Ronald Reagan.

Unless you’re in Kentucky.

If that doesn’t work, try putting the Commandments in an airy outdoor location.

If you’re desperate, or are in Kentucky, you can hire an artist to paint the scene where those tablets were delivered to Moses — but you might be better off if you leave the tablets blank and let the viewer fill in the details.

Unless you already have a painting that’s been around for, oh, say, 60 years — then you’re in the clear.

Oh, and if you’re in Texas — don’t worry. There will be some loophole through which your Commandments monument will fit.

Clear?

Up next: The Bible as a historical textbook for school kids.
