Alton's Comment

Well, there is much wailing and gnashing of teeth over Alton's comment that he would "piss on" the Koran. At least by Ben Tribbett.

As for me, I think not. But then again, I have too much respect for books to piss on any of them. Even Mein Kampf, The Communist Manifesto, Chairman Mao's Little Red Book, Das Kapital, It Takes A Village, or My Life.

Indeed, unlike the others, I might even read the Koran without being assigned to.

On the other hand, I hardly think it's worth beating the guy up over his comment.

Just so people know what Alton Foley wrote:

"I just read that myself Rose.

Actually a half empty box of Frosty Flakes is much more valuable to me. I can at least eat the Frosty Flakes, all I can do with the Koran is piss on it."

I have read the Koran, most of it anyway. I have little use for it.

What was begun as a private joke between friends, a reference to the Korans in the toilet kerfuffle from the recent past, has gotten way more attention than it deserves.

Would I urinate on your Koran, of course not. But if one were given to me, (I would not buy one), it would certainly be that meaningless to me.
