Two ladies walk into a Bookshop and meet a strapping young associate who happens to be working in the Religion section they're browsing. Somehow, the three get onto the subject of Thomas Merton.
Them: Oh, he's amazing, but he's Catholic so he says some things that...oh, say, son, what's your background?
Me: You mean like, religious background?
Them: Yeah.
Me: Well, I grew up Jehovah's Witness, but I'm into Buddhism now.
Them: You're into *what* now?
Me: I'm a Buddhist.
Them: Oh, I'm sorry. Hopefully that'll clear up.
Is it just me, or does Buddhism sound like a bad case of acne? So *that's* where all those whiteheads are coming from! It's Baptist for me, from now on! I'll be saved *and* have great skin. :D
