Bumper Sticker

The Wisconsin State Journal has been publishing a picture of a locally-seen bumper sticker on its Sunday editorial page. I wish I'd had a camera with me this afternoon, so I could submit the zinger I saw.

It said:

Faith is believing in what you know ain't so.

Just what the heck does that mean? If you believe in it, then you figure it is so, don't you? And if you know it ain't so, you sure don't have any faith in it.

Now let's all bow our heads in thanks that these are the intellects against which we joust.
