How to display the Ten Commandments safely

Author: MiriamPublished: Jun 29, 2005 at 10:05 pm 0 comments

I've figured it out. The Supreme Court has ruled that you can display the Ten Commandments if you ask "Mother May I?" first, or if you display the Code of Hammurabi next to it, or if you print them on realy lousy toilet paper and leave them out in the rain....or, or....

The hell with it. Just post one of those signs which used to be displayed at NYC beaches, with a big NO followed by: drinking, spitting, dogs, running, glass bottles, littering,etc.

That will keep people out of the courthouse, a very desirable end in itself. They're up to no good in there, I'll wager.
