Getting Ready
While working with the roustabouts to prepare the vacant lot for Biblical Studies Carnival XXI, I found this at a site aptly called Carnival and Circus Jokes. I thought it might help you get in the spirit.
A carnival truck and a revival preacher's truck collide head-on, and everyone is killed. The next thing anyone knows, Saint Peter is interrogating the revival preacher very thoroughly. Suddenly, the carnival crew arrives at the Pearly Gates reeking of beer and reefer, and Saint Peter waves them all through as he continues questioning the preacher. The Reverend splutters indignantly and asks, "How can you let those filthy, unrighteous hooligans into heaven while you give me the third degree?" "Take it easy," Saint Peter says. "They're only going to be here a week."
It appears that these lamented carnies only stayed in one place for a week. Our carnival hangs around for a whole month (and even more in the archives).
Don't forget to recommend your favorite academically oriented Biblical Studies posts. Several concessions are still open.
