Atheist: prove that (insert your god here) exists

Theist: (Insert you god Here) exists because (insert respective religious text) says so

Atheist: you realize you just gave a literary handjob right?

Literacy Test 

it's a test in ontario that grade 10 students are forced to take and pass, if you don't pass you are forced to take it again until you pass or are forced to take a class against your will that will "help" you pass. Because if you do not pass in the future years of high school, you will fail high school..... it's also a shit load of ass because they say it's really hard and a lot of people fail... but it's extremely easy...too easy...

Before: "Ah CRAP!! the literacy test is today!! it's going to be hard!!"

After: "That was the easiest test ever...i didnt even need to study...."

Literal Larry 

Literal Larry is the subconscious personality in all of us that comes out when conversing with another individual. He hears a sentence, comment, statement or question from a person, and instantly distorts it by conjoing words initially intended to have a different meaning...and then responds to the newly constructed grouping of words instead of the original intended ones...

1.)
Me: What did she look like?
You: She was short, cute, spanish, glasses.
Me: anddd what do spanish glasses look like?

Oh! oops, sorry that was literal larry...

2.)

Surely you can´t be serious!
I am serious, and don´t ever call me Shirly.

Literal larry struck again!
