Week Four of Silly Time
Welcome to the Four Week of “Silly Time”, The six week
period between when the gifts of the prophets were bestowed upon Britain and
when the same gifts were poured out upon the colonies. This is a time of solemn introspection and
reflection on our lives and their direction.
Please open your Hymnal to page 3 and join in our processional “O Lord Please Don’t Burn Us” Verse 1
O LORD, please
don’t burn us, Don’t grill or toast
your flock,
Don’t put us on
the barbecue, Or simmer us in stock,
Don’t braise or
bake or boil us, Or stir fry us in a
wok.
Thank you for that spiritual rendition it warmed my heart as I meandered to the pulpit.
Host: Excuse me a moment.
Man: Dung,
sir.
Man:
Your dung. Three hundredweight of heavy droppings. Where do you want it?
Host: I didn't order any dung.
Man: Yes you did, sir. You
ordered it through the Book of the Month Club.
Host: Book of the Month Club?
Man: That's right, sir. You get
'Gone with the Wind', 'Les Miserables' by Victor Hugo, 'The French Lieutenant's
Woman' and with
every third book you get dung.
Host:
I didn't know that when I signed the form.
Man:
Well, no, no. It wasn't on the form - they found it wasn't good for business. Anyway,
we've got three hundredweight of dung in the van. Where do you want it?
Host: Well, I don't think we
do. We've no garden.
Man: Well, it'll all fit in
here - it's top-class excrement.
Host: You can't put it in here,
we've having a dinner party!
Man: 'Salright. I'll put it on
the telly.
Please open your hymnal
to page 8 and join us in singing “The Money Song verse 1”.
I've
got ninety thousand pounds in my pajamas
I've got forty thousand French francs in my
fridge
I've got lots of lovely lira
Now the deutschmark's getting dearer
And my dollar bills could buy the Brooklyn
Bridge
There is ... nothing quite as
wonderful as money!
There is nothing quite as beautiful as cash!
Some people say it's folly, but I'd rather have
the lolly
With money you can make a splash!
Now please open The Holy
Text volume 2 to episode 29 page 76 where the prophets say …
Idle: Good evening, and
welcome to The Money Programme. Tonight on The Money Programme, we're going to
look at money. Lots of it. On film, and in the studio. Some of it in nice
piles, others in lovely clanky bits of loose change. Some of it neatly counted
into fat little hundreds, delicate fivers stuffed into bulging wallets, nice
crisp clean checks, pert pieces of copper coinage thrust deep into trouser
pockets, romantic foreign money rolling against the thigh with rough
familiarity, beautiful wayward curlicued banknotes, filigreed copper plating
cheek by jowl with tumbly rubbing gently against the terse leather of
beautifully balanced bank books!!
Idle: I'm sorry.
Idle: But I love money.
Homily As the US
National Debt approaches 29 Trillion dollars (https://www.usdebtclock.org/) It is
truly astonishing to read stories of President Sleepy Uncle Joe claiming that the vast inflation that is being
unleashed on Americans and the world is just “transitory” (https://www.zerohedge.com/political/biden-downplays-inflation-predicts-businesses-will-be-bind-over-persistent-labor) A statement only someone who has a person for
all that proletarian “shopping” nonsense could make.
Meanwhile,
businesses announce that inflation is so bad that they can not raise prices fast
enough to keep up with the rise in the raw material costs they face (https://www.reuters.com/world/americas/coffee-cane-orange-crops-risk-temperatures-plunge-brazil-2021-07-29/)
Such realities demonstrate the future that we are headed toward. If you do not know history, you NEED to look
up what happened in Weimar Germany in the 1920’s. Such ignorant and out of touch statements as
are currently spewing out of Washington D.C. can only lead to that result.
In times
such as these History does offer hope for what you can do to prepare. In our case even large banks are telling
people the most appropriate response to government malfeasance (https://www.zerohedge.com/commodities/time-buy-gold-hedge-against-extreme-financial-deleveraging-credit-suisse-says)
So remember if it is shiny, you probably want to own it. Most importantly, whoever physically holds
it, is the one who really owns it!
Amen
Please join us in our recessional
on page 3 of your hymnal “O Lord Please Don’t Burn Us” second verse.
Oh Please don’t
lightly poach us, Or Baste us with hot
fat,
Don’t fricassee
or roast us, Or boil us in a vat,
And please don’t
stick thy servants, Lord, In a
Rotissomat.
