The Best Thing I Heard This Weekend

Author: Administrator
Category: People Say The Funniest Things

Today I participated in a humorous speech competition (and won second place, thank you very much!)

To keep the crowd entertained while the judges tallied the ballots, the moderator brought up all the contestants to be interviewed one by one.

He got to a woman who had given a speech about her life as an American in Greece, and with his questions the moderator invited her to give the audience some more information about Greek words, phrases, and gestures.

“Well in Greece you never do this,” she told us, as she made the hand gesture that in America means “bye-bye”.

“Why not?” asked the moderator.

“Because in Greece that means, ‘I crap on your next five generations.”

      And this I believe: that the free, exploring mind of the individual human is the most valuable thing in the world. And this I would fight for: the freedom of the mind to take any direction it wishes, undirected. And this I must fight against: any religion, or government which limits or destroys the individual. This is what I am and what I am about.
