Well, I only got 5, but I haven't read any of the Puritains yet. Does this mean that my belief is NOT based on a construct (as WC would have it)?

"Oh, that is HYSTERICAL!!!!!! May I copy and send to the relatives..."

Sure, I heard this long ago and I couldn't remember the exact way it went. (It's the punchline that's key.) I found it on the web, but it had the Catholics in the punchline. I cut and pasted it and changed it. Feel free.

"...(yes, all Dutch; yes, all attended Calvin)."

Well, that I know of, there's two dutch guys on these Calvinist threads and we both did! What's that tell you?

There was a barber in his shop one day when a Roman Catholic priest walked in and got a hair cut. When finished, the priest attempted to pay. The barber refused noting that it was his policy that men of the cloth receive free haircuts.

The next morning the barber awakens and leaves his home. As he opens the door he finds 6 bottles of wine on his door step.

Later, in his shop, a Lutheran minister walks in to get his hair cut. After the haircut the Lutheran minister attempts to pay. The barber again refuses and notes that it is his policy that men of the cloth receive free haircuts.

The next morning the barber awakens and leaves his home. As he opens the door he finds 6 pints of fine German beer on his door step.

Later, in his shop, a Baptist minister walks in to get his hair cut. After the haircut the Baptist minister attempts to pay. The barber again refuses and notes that it is his policy that men of the cloth receive free haircuts.

The next morning the barber awakens and leaves his home. As he opens the door he finds 6 bottles of grape juice on his door step.

Later, in his shop, a Dutch Reformed minister walks in to get his hair cut. After the haircut the Dutch Reformed minister attempts to pay. The barber again refuses and notes that it is his policy that men of the cloth receive free haircuts.

The next morning the barber awakens and leaves his home. As he opens the door, he finds 6 Dutch Reformed ministers on his door step....

I tried to take the test, and the button to score does not work in Opera (doesn't always render Java properly), and that is the only browser I have on this computer. I will have to wait until Monday and take it using my computer at work.

It's a game where we sit around and compare names. It usually doesn't take too long to strike a match. Especially if you went to Calvin.
