The ghost of Goofus past....

I suppose you would have to be a ghost in order to carry out magic, such as curing gayness. (One of his less salubrious claims.)

On that bombshell, and keeping on track of the thread, (superstition verses rationality,) I notice one of the catholic priests that has just been promoted to Cardinal, (a Spanish bloke,) has just a given a speech saying homosexuality is a disease and we should look for a cure.

Nice.

Reminds me of a the one about a bloke who got brave in the pub and went up to a lady and said "I fancy you." She said, "You are wasting your time, I'm a lesbian." Oh, he said, what does that mean? (As opposed to "What part of lesbia do you come from?") "Look," she said. "See that lass over there? I'd love to go over and suck on her breasts." "Oh Jesus!" He said. "I reckon I'm a lesbian too!"

The moral being, there is no disease, just perspective.....
