Section J for Jesus

You have stated that you are Christian. The following applies to ALL Christians and then follow details for particular/peculiar varieties of Christians.

You are a miserable sinner.

"What are you?"

Answer, out loud;

--- "I am a miserable sinner."

"What should you do?"

--- "I should repent."

"Go forth, and sin no more."

But that isn't all.

If you are Catholic:

You have incurred x (number to be stated by your priest) additional years in Purgatory. That number can be reduced by y (number to be stated by your priest) days by attending Mass every day, or by a year for every 1,000 dollars paid to the St Mugwumpus fund for priestly comforts.

If you are Baptist:

You are suspended from membership of this church for x (number to be stated by your Minister) years. That number can be reduced by a year for every 10,000 dollars paid to the Praise the Lord and Pass the Ammunition fund for ministerial support.

If you are Anglican/Episcopalian:

That's all right, then. Please put a suitable donation in the offertory. Large denomination notes are preferred. Don't forget to complete the tax waiver.

If you belong to another church that has strong views on sexual malpractice:

You are expelled. You are no longer part of this church. No! No money can buy your redemption, but money will be accepted to fund the anathemas sung every Sunday.

If you belong to another church that has liberal views on sexual malpractice:

You should not have fallen from grace. You can redeem yourself. Bring your large check to the office after today's service.

Section K

You have stated that you belong to a religion other than Christian or Muslim. We are not prepared to detail all the possibilities but you have a choice of penalty.

You can choose:

a) Being trampled to death by elephants, or

b) Being torn apart by water-buffalo, or

c) Being eaten by the sacred crocodile, or

d) Immediate conversion to become a Christian or a Muslim. (If you are a woman we do not recommend becoming a Muslim -- See Section M for Mecca.)

Section L

You have stated that you are a non-believer. You godless heathen, you are heading straight for Hell, without passing Go nor collecting your $200. If you continue to maintain your non-believing status, the penalties detailed in Section K will apply. Not even the flying spaghetti monster, nor Elvis, can save you.

Section M for Mecca

You have stated that you are Muslim. If you are a man, your penalty will be halved.

If you are a woman, your penalty will be doubled and may include stoning to death.

If you are transsexual, or you do not know whether you are a man or woman, the penalty is immediate stoning to death, in public, recorded on High Definition TV for worldwide distribution.

Your case will be heard by the Religious Police once you have survived the necessary course of imam-approved torture. If you are a woman - your survival is optional and not necessary.

The penalty decided by the Religious Police will be put into effect immediately.
