Posted this a few Months ago.....when you read the bible do you realize?

Over 4500 thousand years ago, Moses said to the children of Israel , "Pickup your shovels, mount your asses and your camels, and I will lead you to the Promised Land."

Nearly 75 years ago, In America, President Roosevelt's welfare program was, "Lay down your shovels, sit on your asses, and light up a Camel, this is the Promised Land."

Today, the Government has no shovels, has taxed all our asses, raised the price of camels and mortgaged the Promised Land!

I got so depressed thinking about how Ironic this is, I called The US Suicide Hotline. I had to press 1 for English and was connected to a call center in Pakistan . I told the man I was suicidal he asked asked if I could drive a truck......

    i think existence has no authentic which skill or purpose for a lot of human beings these days, yet 4500 years in the past, Moses led the human beings and did not lie. They paid the cost by way of wandering for many of years, yet there became a promised land for people who persisted.

    No, the promise land was Israel for the Jews. And why did you include that last part? It's completely random.

    hey, if you can drive a truck then you could get a job as a truck driver and get the heck out of the USA. Israel land wasn't promised to you*

    *Unless you happen to be of the Israeli persuasion.

    Hilarious! I love the joke. My son used that one on me, starting off by saying he was feeling suicidal. I think the relief that he wasn't serious, made it all the funnier!

    It's called 'black humour' for those who don't realise we have to make fun of the things that really annoy us!

    Governments all over the world are pulling their people around by their noses; so when are they going to realise that there is no future career in heaven for politicians?

    You do know that the New Deal put countless Americans back to work and built nearly the entire national park system, right?

    Thats funny....

    Roosevelt was Illuminati, a 33rd Degree Freemason, his SS program and everything else he did laid down the foundation of destruction of America.

    Think about it, when Prescott Bush tried to overthrow the US Government and make it a fascist state in the 30's, why did Roosevelt just "pardon" him? And why did his offspring eventually gain the presidential office seat not once, but twice?

    If this is a joke, I missed the punchline.
