Zoroastrianism is to Bokononism as Sausages are to Biscuits
At one time, before time was born, bipedal locomotion was the in thing. One could scratch one's ass while simultaneously drinking a beverage and locomoting. A tremendous boon to early, early investors of Starbucks, this evolutionary wampeter [1] was among the first of the Holy Thingies given to man by Father Sun, Borasisi [2].
A horrible pun[edit | edit source]
Mahatma Gandhi, as you know, walked barefoot most of the time, which produced an impressive set of calluses on his feet. He also ate very little, which made him rather frail and with his odd diet, he suffered from bad breath. This made him ..(Oh, man, this is so bad, it's good)..... A super calloused fragile mystic hexed by halitosis.
Punch A Baby For Jesus[edit | edit source]
At the Kadena Carnival that year, our booth was a miserable excuse for an attraction, sandwiched between the ammo guys' on the left, and a baby-punching booth on the right.
Two of us thought "Punch A Baby For Jesus" was in poor taste, even if the majority of the clientele were Buddhists. Sharkey said, "I mean, isn't that making Jesus look sort of, um, well... uncaring?"
There were some who felt that a video game for the Android operating system called, "Punch A Baby To Heaven" would be a good move, if we could find slave-labor game programmers.

But poor Pabu gave birth to children that were cold, that did not burn; and Borasisi threw them away in disgust. These are the planets that circle their terrible father at a safe distance. Then poor Pabu herself was cast away,and she went to live with her favourite child, which was Earth. Earth was Pabu's favourite because it had people on it; and the people looked up at her and loved her and sympathised. Bokonon describes his cosmogeny as a "Foma!, A pack of foma!"
