Last week there was no Saturday Stupidity post. There was also no Lord's Day post, or much else this week. Instead, I challenged you readers to submit jokes in a competition for coveted Thirsty Theologian merchandise.

Well, it seems that either our readership is exceedingly shy, comedy challenged, or just doesn't want our stinkin' stuff, because only a few brave souls bothered to particiate. To my surprise, all were good submissions.

Two of them had previously appeared in Saturday Stupidity posts, one of them verbatim (the poster no doubt got it from another site, or he was having fun with me).

This one, submitted by Daniel, was classic Saturday Stupidity style:

Ghandi walked barefoot most of the time, which, as you can imagine, produced signficant callouses on his feet. Likewise, being an acetic, he ate very little, and consequently was quite frail. His odd diet didn't help his oral hygiene either, something which (contrary to the popular image of Ghandi) troubled him greatly, as it meant that he suffered from bad breath most of his adult life.

Some say that is why he was called a .... super calloused fragile mystic vexed by halitosis.

Certainly, that one deserves an honorable mention. However, there were two others that scored marginally higher that our expert panel of judges are still arguing over, so a decision has not been rendered. I will post both of them tomorrow, and the winner will be announced.

Thanks to all who participated.
