Re: [asa] Dawkins new book (morals)

your shed of decency might just get relocated and dropped on somebody,
and I don't want anybody to get hurt.

A peculiar joke, perhaps more for Mennonites: the scene is with a
knocked over out-house, and Santa, presents, & reindeer all scattered
about on the ground & confused. and the caption has Santa shouting: "I
said the *Schmidt* house, Rudolf! The *Schmidt* house!"
