I didn't see it as an attack against organized religion or Judaism. I saw it as a sort of cynical expression of a world weary man who has tried his best by praying. It could be any religion but of course the confluence of the the term wall with the holy site in Jerusalem makes the joke work.

Which is exactly how I took it.

Only if you backstroke across the Cuyahoga three times as penance.
No smoking though.

Love me some Randy Newman.

IIRC the genesis of the Clean Water Act was the fire on the Cuyahoga. The fucking river actually caught on fire.

At least the backstroke will keep my face away from the water....

Anyone who finds the joke which started this thread offensive and this is my opinion is looking to be offended. Jokes are a way a healthy society points a spotlight on it's ills. There will always be jokes that are beyond crude but I'd much rather have them than PC crush the life out of people with having to worry that someone's out there with their heart on their sleeve waiting to jump. There's enough stuff to be really worried about with our new leadership that this thread should be used as intended to showcase frustration with a certain situation without prejudice to the chosen vehicle of delivery.

TY Sanford. The right loves to wail about political correctness, until they think someone is pricking one of their sacred cows, and then they get a real case.
