My best mate once spent a summer working in a double-glazing warehouse
His colleagues were not the brightest of sparks, but one story had me with tears rolling down my face. It went something like this:

Colleague: So how come we've got Friday and Monday off?
Mate: 'Cause it's Easter, innit?
Colleague: Easter? What's that, then?
Mate: You know, when Jesus was crucified and rose from the dead?
Colleague: You're having me on! Jesus wasn't crucified!
Mate: ...
Colleague: Lads, he's having me on, trying to tell me Jesus was crucified and rose from the dead!
Everyone else: ...
Colleague: Nah, you're taking the piss, mate. Jesus wasn't crucified.

The mind boggles.

Who did she think the bloke you see on crosses is?

well, you see...
there was once a boy who was failing school. He was smart and understood what was being taught, but was unmotivated.

In desperation his parents enrolled him at a Catholic school. The first night he was quiet, then went to his room after dinner to do homework. He did this all year, and at the end of term had all As.

His parents were overjoyed. What made the difference? Different teaching style? The nuns?

"No. The first day I was there I saw the guy they had nailed to the plus sign and knew they meant business!"

Crucified, sure, maybe
But rise from the dead he did not.
