I really can't see the point of this topic = I think it is only quakers who would entertain it, even JChang1 has removed his introductory post.

well, how about a good joke instead, then?

did you hear what happened when they exhumed ludwig van beethoven's body?

they opened up his coffin, and discovered him lying inside, furiously erasing page after page of sheet music

herr beethoven, they asked, vat are you doing in dere?

ach, you dumkoffs, he replied.

Haha, my favorite (and my son will tell this with peals of giggles)-

What's invisible and smells like carrots?

A bunny fart.

Anthony, one of my favorite Monty Python jokes isn’t one of their drawn out and thoughtful skits, nor one of their songs, or a movie scene, nope, it’s the childish “what smells like shit and sounds like a bell?” the answer of course is “Dung!”

i heard this in a bentonite plant in wyoming this morning

one day the lone ranger and tonto pulled into town. it was extremely hot and they and their horses were almost overcome.

the lone ranger and tonto dismount and the ranger hands the reins to tonto and says

my horse is too hot. take him over there and run around him in circles while waving this blanket to keep him cool.

then he goes into the bar

tonto takes the horse over to a tree and begins running around and around the horse, waving the blanket. after a while he collapses on the ground in a fit of heat stroke

another man who has watched the whole sequence walks into the bar and locates the lone ranger. he asks

was that your horse out there?

yes, says the lone ranger, why?

well, you better go back out. you left the injun running and it overheated

I am not getting this tread. With so many outstanding Quaker Colleges both in Britian and the United States, it would seem to me that by not supporting or advocating Quaker advancement in academics, that the very communties within which Quakers reside would suffer not only from financial atrophy, but also regress in what forms the basis of current and relevant "common knowledge". It would be interesting to hear from the faculty of a Quaker college to see how they percieve this.
