A great Fundie joke.

[Lady Grass Lake]

Found the joke in the comments on the Computerworld website called Shark Tank, where IT people send it stories of crazy users and bosses.  A lot of times people also put jokes in the comments and that's where I found this.  

 

 

 

A fundamentalist married couple felt it was important to own an equally fundamentalist pet.  So, they went shopping.

At a kennel specializing in this  particular breed, they found a dog they really liked.  When they asked the dog to fetch a Bible, he did it in a flash.  They then instructed him to look up Psalm 23, and he complied equally as fast, using his paws with dexterity.  They were impressed, purchased the animal and took him home.

That night they had friends over.  They were so proud of their new fundamentalist dog and his major skill, they wanted to show off a little.  The friends were equally impressed with his skills and asked if the dog was also able to do the usual dog tricks as well.  This stopped the owners cold, as they hadn't thought about tricks.  "Well let's try it out," said the husband.  

Once more they called the dog and in a loud clear voice commanded him to "HEEL."  

Quick as a wink, the dog jumped up, put his paw on the owners forehead, closed his eyes in concentration, and bowed his head.  

   

 

 

A fundamentalist religious couple felt it important to own an equally fundamentally religious pet. So, they went shopping...

"Well," they said, "let's try it out."

 

Once more they called the dog, and they clearly pronounced the command, "HEEL."

 

Quick as a wink the dog jumped up, put his paw on the man's forehead, closed his eyes in concentration, and bowed his head.

The full joke is that they were a Baptist family wanting a Baptist dog, and the punchline is "This dog isn't Baptist, it's Pentecostal!"

I used to read SharkTank all the time- I even got a shirt once. Their comment board is the best!
