Keeping a Holy Lent: “The custom of keeping the fast in Lent has been part of the holy observance of the season from its very beginnings. The biblical precedent for this custom is reflected in the very first hymn in the ‘Lent’ section of Lutheran Service Book: ‘O Lord, throughout these forty days You prayed and kept the fast’.”

Capitalism, Socialism, and Communism are sitting around talking. Socialism says he needs to do an errand and goes off. Three hours later he returns carrying a small package.

“What took you so long?” asks Capitalism.

“I had to buy some sausage, and there was a long line,” Socialism explains.

“What’s a line?” asks Capitalism.

And Communism inquires, “What’s sausage?” — Soviet joke (Meltdown: Inside the Soviet Economy)
