Lutherans tend to be more repressed (sexually) than catholic nuns. When I was 17 my father told me that the reason he didn’t hug me was that my chest made him uncomfortable. And I am the most normal one in the family, even after that.
Scary. My son is going to a Lutheran-run university, not for any religious reason (as if I had to disclaim that ) but because the football team wanted him. He just turned in a paper for his theology class disputing the existence of a god. We are still waiting to hear how that came out.

Sadly I am ignorant about the Lutherans, I just sent him there because he was assured a starting position on the football team. Since football was what got him through high school I wasn’t against that being his reason for going.
He said his instructor was open-minded so I am sure he will be okay with the paper.
i disagree that monotheistic religions contradict themselves but feel that many people dont try to understand what really is the truth and just try to go off of what others tell them. very few people seem to actually understand what they believe.
I graduated from a Catholic high school, the only decent school in town. They didn’t know what to do with me during religion classes. I would point out everything that could be traced back to paganism. I wound up in Sister Paul’s office all the time
this is actually fairly good advice. those motion sensors don’t work when you wave your hand back and forth (i know you’ve sat there for ages waving your hand in front of one going “C’MON ALREADY!”) but it works every time if you move your hand forward toward the motion sensor like you’re going to touch it.
I tried to get a paper towel out of one of those dispensers, but the sensor wasn’t working. Nothing I did caused the sensor to trigger. Whether I moved side-to-side or towards and away, no motion would make the sensor see me. Finally, I gave up the ghost and touched it and a towel came out.
oh yeah, and then they built a bigger no touch dryer that was wired to a high voltage trigger and they wanted to see how much pee would actually activate the thing.
Would a lead zeppelin not be able to fly? Or would it immediately FAIL at flying so horribly that all passengers and crew would be taking the stairway to Heaven?
Hmm. If the dispenser was hooked up with a camera and the towels were remotely dispensed by a human, I wonder what weird “conditioning” could be achieved in the populace of a busy lavatory? Or should we call this a lavoratory?
That’s especially funny since I took this picture in the ladies room at a chinese buffet restaurant. I can now hear that song from a couple different warped angles….and neither of them right!

This is an easy riddle. Just use your telekinesis.
I bet Uri Geller could operate that machine.

Maybe he meant “roll under floor laughing.”
use your shirt to touch it
Yeah, great suggestion, but, uhm, still, the problem remains though..
Touch this with you hand, by not using yours fingers or palm or back of hand.
Eeeeewww. Put that away!

What exactly is ‘under the floor’? Concrete?

Sounds like a Catholic mother teaching her child how to wash “down there”.
Good touch, Bad touch?
Don’t forget the “Necessary-but-make-sure-you-feel-guilty-about-it touch”. Yes, I survived an old-school Catholic upbringing.
Fair enough, I survived an old school Lutheran upbringing. All of the guilt, none of the absolution.
Pagans celebrate our naughty bits.
that we do, Ryannon ^_^
Yep, all the pleasure with none of the guilt.
TCBY?
Nah. Thanks though but it’s a little to cold here for that right now.

I might consider looking at some of the other schools in the area.
By the way, which Concordia does he attend?
I ask ’cause my folks both went to the one in Seward Nebraska. My dad also went to the one in Austin Texas, for a year or so.
Hooray Nebraska!
Sorry, I get excited when my forgotten state is brought up without mentioning corn.
I sympathize, being a Hoosier by birth.
Hah. I think we will ride it out, seeing as he is in his senior hear.
.
It’s not call Concordia, it’s California Lutheran University in Thousand Oaks.
OOOOooohhhh. Then it is unlikely to be a Missouri Synod place. And more likely to be open to questions of faith. The M.S. Lutherans are a scary bunch.
Sadly I am ignorant about the Lutherans, I just sent him there
I would try to explain, but I don’t really understand it myself. It contradicts itself too many times to make sense.

If I respond to this in the way I want I just know I will somehow wind up back in Sister Paul’s office.
Take her a pair of socks. You know…peace offering.
Thank the stars, someone else is up and commenting. Got tired of my picture over to the right.
Heee…

I graduated from a Catholic high school, the only decent school in town. They didn’t know what to do with me during religion classes. I would point out everything that could be traced back to paganism. I wound up in Sister Paul’s office all the time
Couldn’t you have saved yourself a lot of talking by pointing out just the few things that were not stolen from other religions?
And just been silent instead?
tee hee! Sister Paul??? Did she wear those socks???
Pointing & laughing ……….where?
I don’t think Ryannon is the ‘sit and be quiet’ type. I’m just saying …
Yeah, Catholics take their religion too seriously.
Wait, I’m catholic!
Eh, I’d rather read a Hot Rod or science magazine.
Sister Paul? Did she have her name on her socks?

Was that the priests doing the touching in certain ‘special’ areas?
You mean their EVIL STICK/DEVIL PIT?
Don’t forget the dirtypillows.
They’re breasts, momma.
8. maybe if they had replaced the first “touch” with activate.
Or maybe if they had replaced all of the touches with “truck”.
Or maybe replace all the trucks with electric cars.
Touchless electric cars.
Caring electric toothbrush?
Or maybe if they replaces the towel dispenser with one that actually works.
*replaced
The ‘s’ carries distinct overtones of Gollum…
It replaces the towel with the lotion… my precious… ???
Tricksy fishes
It rubs the lotion in or it gets the hose…
But what if it likes the hose?
Then it’s a hosebeast.
How ’bout one of those rotating towels with the brown line down the middle. Thanks, I’ll air chap.
Honestly, I usually just end up drying my hands on the ass of my jeans, anyway…
I like to clean my ass on my jeans, too. It gives them that lived-in look really quickly.

Too bad the towel came out after you died.

If the teller of this fictional tale died, how could the story be told in the first-person?

Yes, Shadow, I have a sense of humor. I’m just probing to see if the responders understood the intended meaning.

Oh…don’t mind me. I’m just wondering if I feel like “regular” or “extra crispy” tonight.

*imagines some motions that might trigger the Admiral’s sensors*
Those curves give the illusion of motion even while you are still. I also exhibit positive thermotaxis when you’re near.

*motions to the Admiral*
OOOOooooh. Neat. Threesome anyone? Throw your car keys on the coffee table…
My turn, Admiral.
*boots Mookie out the door and hangs up the “Do Not Disturb” sign*
*sets in motion*
I aim to please you to the best of my motility.
*feels a stirring*
Please let me know if you find my praise and undulation a bit excessive.
Not. At. All.
I just didn’t want my inclination for you to come off as possessiveness.
We could, of course, privatize our mutual admiration…
It does not come off that way, and rest assured I would not sit still for it if it did.

Holy cow, I think I need a room or a cold shower.
After that, I believe I will too. So please save some cold water for the rest of us.
If the shower’s rockin’, don’t come a knockin’. You will know it’s your turn when the noise dies down.
oh in that case .. *sets up spy cameras*
*muffled snork!*
Oooh. That hurt, girlfriend! Surely there’s enough of the Admiral to go ’round! Share!
*snork*
Honey, the Admiral isn’t mine to share. He knows he can play with absolutely anyone he chooses.
And flirty dragons would wither if they were not free to, well, flirt!
True…! And I choose to be flirty with you. :p
Well, I wouldn’t want to break up a beautiful friendship!
You won’t. You have pretty feet, by the way.
And a purty mouth too!
Sounds like my wife… “Don’t just wave your hands in front of it… touch it!”
A better message for the Mouse Fail:
“Please try to click the ‘ok’ button without clicking it.”
Will it work if you pee on it? That would save actually having to trigger the urinal too. Efficiency win.
That, of course, would only apply to those of us with external plumbing that allows the operator to aim upwards.
Hmmm maybe the sensor is powered with high voltage.
I am not volunteering to check.
Chicken!
:p
Bet he’s not good at playing “Don’t Whiz on the Electric Fence”.
persons without external plumbing can do it too… just not as easily… or as effectively………also can get messy………
No, they disproved that on Mythbusters remember? When they tried to pee on the No Touch dryer that they tried not to touch while touching?
oh yeah, and then they built a bigger no touch dryer that was wired to a high voltage trigger and they wanted to see how much pee would actually activate the thing.
And then blew it up.
But then they built an even bigger one!
They blew that one up, too.
Say it with me:

Zeppelin is the answer to everything.
Would a lead zeppelin not be able to fly? Or would it immediately FAIL at flying so horribly that all passengers and crew would be taking the stairway to Heaven?
Oh, the humanity!
They would probably just Shuffle off to Buffalo.
Like fools in the rain?
Yup, That’s the way.
More like travellers of time and space.
Would time travelers and astronauts be dazed and confused?
Only if the time travelers travel by zeppelin.
Actually, Mythbusters made a lead balloon. It was absolutely huge and had to be fixed with tape often, but it actually floated.
Ok, that’s enough nerdiness.

Serious question: isn’t this one you wave your hand in front of the sensor for the paper towel? The ones at our local mall are like that.
No serious questions on failblog, please.
Hmm. If the dispenser was hooked up with a camera and the towels were remotely dispensed by a human, I wonder what weird “conditioning” could be achieved in the populace of a busy lavatory? Or should we call this a lavoratory?

When you can touch the no touch dispenser without touching it, Grasshopper, then it will be time for you to leave.
Because you will have achieved that which you sought …

The paper towel comes out before you touch it. So you try to touch it, meaning you move your hand to it but then the paper towel comes out.
