Subject: 11th commandment

 
During a recent staff meeting in heaven, God, Moses and Saint Peter concluded
that the behavior of politicians such as former President Bill Clinton and
Congressman Gary Condit had brought about the need for an eleventh commandment.

They worked long and hard in a brainstorming session to try to settle on the
wording of the new commandment, because they realized that it should have the
same majesty and dignity as the other ten.

After many revisions they finally agreed that the eleventh commandment should
be:

    "Thou shalt not comfort thy rod with thy staff."
