ULTRA-HARRIER JOE’S HOMILY · TO THE
BOULEVARDIERS
You need a whole bunch of things
Chapter 11
Another thing they didn’t have much of in Palestine was things,
2bWhich there are a lot of nowadays,
3And it’s all well and good to talk about giving everything away and living on Christ’s word, with nothing more than a little bread to keep body and soul together,
4But if you’re living in the late twentieth century, that’s just a little bit naive, don’t you think?
5I mean, maybe you don’t need too many cthings to live comfortably in Palestine,
6Especially if you’re living there so long ago that the Jews haven’t even invented retailing yet,
7Not to mention winter,
8Which they don’t have any of in Palestine,
9And never did,
10dWhich makes it pretty easy to wander around the Holy Land talking a lot of nonsense about living on nothing but words,
11Although it’s another story altogether when you have to live in the eNortheast,
12Where there is snow and ice in the wintertime,
13And where you can be arrested if you don’t have someplace of your own to sleep in at night.
