    I was watching a movie on TV this afternoon...............a British movie called Strange Relations, and starring Paul Reiser, as an adopted man in search of his birth family in England. The Paul Reiser character was holding a large envelope and knocked on a door, in a poor part of town. A woman answered the door, and said "Jesus or Jehovah?" He said "what?" And she said "Mormons or Witnesses?"

    That was funny.

    That was funny in an ironic sort of way.

    Now that we are out of there, we often remind ourselves how we never really gave the respect to Jesus Christ, even adding his name at the end of a prayer ...thro' Jesus amen.. just like a P.S. at the end of a letter.

    This was good...............I am surprised not more comments. Maybe the title is throwing people off.

    Mulan, (Nice accent, BTW!)

    I haven't seen it, but I know that Julie Walters is in it too. She was the instructor in Billy Elliot as I recall.

    It really is a poignant moment isn't it? What's that about many a true word spoken in jest!

    Yes, she played his birth mother. I enjoyed the movie..................rarely watch movies in the daytime, but I was flipping channels while eating lunch, and got hooked.

    There was another line in it too that I'm sure most Americans wouldn't understand. "I'm not wearing my knickers and my fanny is bloody freezing". I almost choked on my salad.

    LMAO! (one American who gets it)

    Especially in bloody England, where it can get quite cold outside.

    I almost choked on my salad.

    Be careful now.
