Comment of the Day

This comment from Pemloq has inspired me to introduce a Comment of the Day feature on this blog... This was posted on the WHERE IS JOHN PRESCOTT? thread.

The DPM is amusing himself with the 72 virgins no longer required by the would be terrorists.

Sorry to be pedantic, but each Muslim 'martyr' would acquire 72 virgins - that is 72 each.

If they have arrested 21 individuals, Mr Pescott must therefore be amusing himself with 1512 virgins.

When he's finished with 'em they'll still be virgins!

Slightly blokey remark... but isn't it a well-known fact that a virgin isn't so hot in bed? And think how long it would take to train 72 virgins. Exhausting.

Archbishop Cranmer said...

Pulsar,

That was also said of the birth of Jesus...

It's going to be a tough project, but I volunteer purely in the interests of scientific research.

"a virgin isn't so hot in bed?"

That's what most of my girlfirends have told me.

As for the 15.12 virgins, by 20.22 they're usually stuck at Crewe.

Prescott is still not on TV...Why, he's supposed to be in charge.

If JP sings 'four and twenty virgins' three times, he reckons he must score at least once?

Anonymous 9.05 starts a great question!

How about finishing this verse from The Ball at Kirriemuir.(sic)

"Deputy Prescott he was there,
Sitting in one of his Jags......!

C'mon all you guys and gals - get moving... please...!

Whilst Prezza is re-living his youthful fantasies, he's not running the country. Good use of virgins and a blessing for everyone else.

I shudder to think about the age of the promised virgins. In the past few centuries, the only realisble supply came from the nunneries, and those virgins lived to a ripe old age very often. I keep having this vision of the jihadi, ending up like the Blues Brothers in front of Mother Superior, regretting their mission bitterly.

I've read that some Koranic exegesis suggests that one also gets 28 catamites in addition to the 72 houris, in order to round it up to a neat 100.
