THE THREE SACRED AVATARS
OF HINDUISM, IF I HAD INVENTED IT
1. Piercenu the Recycler
2. Lenhin the Refrainer
3. Alva the Consumer
THE FOUR NOBLE TRUTHS
OF THE BUDDHA, IF I HAD INVENTED IT
1. Existence is pointless
2. The cause of pointlessness
is thinking there is a point
3. Pointlessness can be
ignored
4. The way to ignore pointlessness
is to find something more interesting to do
THE FIVE PILLARS OF
ISLAM, IF I HAD INVENTED IT
1. To declare that there
is no God but Leonard, and that He is His own prophet
2. To say nice things
five times a day in Leonard's direction
3. To give money to the
poor people of Leonard's apartment
4. To make dinner for
Leonard every day during Ramadan
5. To perform a pilgramage
once a year to Leonard's garage and wash his car
THE TEN COMMANDMENTS
OF JUDAISM/CHRISTIANITY, IF I HAD INVENTED THEM
1. I am Leonard, they
God. But let's agree not to make a big deal about it.
2. Thou shalt not take
Leonard's name in vain, because he hates standing there like
an idiot saying "Did someone just call me? I could swear
I heard my name."
3. Remember Leonard's
birthday, to keep it groovy.
4. Honor thy father and
thy mother. Unless they suck.
5. Thou shalt not kill,
except animals, if they taste good. And people, if you have a
good reason. Don't kill me, at any rate.
6. Thou shalt not commit
adultery, unless it's, you know, a real good time.
7. I had one here about
stealing, but it got all bogged down in definitions. Instead,
here's one: don't pull halfway out into the intersection so oncoming
traffic has to go way the hell over into the next lane.
8. By all means, lie.
9. Go ahead, try not coveting.
See where that gets you.
10. Thou shalt not sell
something with no tomato, cheese or crust and call it a pizza.
