The Wailing Wall
In Jerusalem, a female CNN journalist heard about an old man who had been going to the Wailing Wall to pray twice a day, everyday, for a long, long time, so she went to check it out.
She went to the Wailing Wall and there he was. She watched him pray, and after about 45 minutes when he turned to leave, she approached him for an interview.
"I'm Rebecca Smith from CNN. Sir, how long have you been coming to the wall and praying?"
"For about 60 years."
"60 years! That's amazing! What do you pray for?"
"I pray for peace between the Christians, Jews and the Muslims. I pray for all the hatred to stop and I pray for all our children to grow up in safety and friendship."
"How do you feel after doing this for 60 years?"
"Like I'm talking to a fucking wall."

An' it harm none, do what ye will. Blessed Be.

Dauntless the slug-horn to my lips I set,
And blew. ``Childe Roland to the Dark Tower came.''

Re: The Wailing Wall
hahah that's freaking hilarious!
I just wanna hide
I just wanna erase the past
And just curl up inside
I don't wanna see the world go round
I wanna go back to bed
Sleep till the pain dissappears
I wanna be with you again
