There is more to life than death and taxes

On my many travels around the world I have had a lot of time to think.

Perhaps those hours could have been better spent by doodling, playing video games or just chewing gum, drooling or reading People magazine but like the fool I am I chose to think. As a result of all that thinking I have decided to let you in on a secret; There is more to life than death and taxes.

Not much more, but something.

Those things are: Chinese Restaurants and Irish pubs.

Think about it. Have you ever been anywhere that doesn't have one or both of those institutions?

If I were interested in creating a new religion that espoused another mad conspiracy theory (see Mormons, Christians, Muslims, Judaeism, Communism, Burtism, Buddhism and anyone else I may have forgotten to offend) I would develop a theory about how these two nations are in the grasp of the Devil and doing his bidding.

If you are interested I'll get you started with a couple of lines.
Feel free to join in and maybe we could create a new liturgy.
Lets face it. It has to be better than the rubbish that's on offer now.

"Behold the sacred Scroll of Number 47" (fried rice with green chillies)
 
"Brothers, Let us drink from the haloed cup of innebriation.
Touch the cup of death so that we may extend our life and ward off the inevitable" (Guiness)

Just a thought. Maybe you had it too
