I want a poster with a picture of Jesus that says "I never said 'I never said it would be easy, I only said it would be worth it.'"

The Geneva Convention specifically makes allowance for hating the Yankees with every fibre of one's being, provided one spells it as fibre

I, also, hate the Yankees with every fibre of my being.

I'd buy one of those. It'd be worth it.

I have one of the Pope saying, "I never said it would be worth it. I only said it would be easy."

Why do I have trouble picturing Jesus putting WWJD on $10 junk jewelery and trying to sell it? The irony doesn't end.

Footprints...the Man with the Old Violin (although talented narrators can still pull this one off)...the schoolmaster in W. Virginia story who flogs kids...all these are less emotionally stirring than the theme song from Cheers.
