Brilliant!

Fat chance

the swine!

Now that's what I call "bringing home the bacon".

hmmm, would this method also protect the Suet Canal?

Hog > Heaven

Or put the opposite bracket in front of that one so it's "does not equal," is the "joke." Stupid Internet.

If it works, what better comment can there be on the state of mind of these idiots?

How's about this one: next time a splodeydope blows up a pizza parlour or whatever, whistle up a crop sprayer, fill it with a couple of hundred gallons of pig blood and fly it over the mob of Paleostinian death-cultists jumping up and down in celebration. Now that would be funny.

i like that david...they could get those old pumper trucks that they used to use on civil rights marchers, load up the tanks with pig blood (hey, it's biodegradeable!) and spray away...

The Laser Aimed Retribution Device or LARD has secretly been developed by the US .

All human remains from suicide-bomb attacks in Israel should be buried together after being sprayed with pig blood (or pig fat).

The mullahs will just concoct some incomprehensible reason why it doesn't count if there's a bit of porcine effluvia mixed with Hussien's bits and pieces. Don't worry Mum -- he's still going to get the 72 virgins.

Perhaps pictures of Jimmy Dean plastered throughout the buses would do the trick without the excrutiating odor of pig feces. They could use a still from "Diamonds Are Forever"; I've always loved the expression on his face when the FBI busts Willard Whyte out of his own underground bunker, which had been converted into Whyte's holding cell after his kidnapping by Blofeld, and he yells, "What the HELL is goin' on around here?"

In the early 20th century, General J.J. "Blackjack" Pershing was sent to the Phillipines to put down a rebellion by Muslim seperatists. He buried the dead Muslims wrapped in pigskins which quickly put an end to the rebellion.

Israel should go much further. They should bury the body parts of suicide bombers with pigs instead of returning the bodies to their enemies.

It won't work. The Palestinian leaders and apologists will make up some excuse to give the 'sploders a pass. This sounds, to me, like the sort of desperate rumor/urban tale that gets passed around in times like these. Frankly I believe in getting rid of terrorists the old way, by sending them to their maker before they get us. I don't care what happens to them in the "afterlife."

Um, not to rain on everyone's parade, but isn't it possible that the observant Jews who use these buses to commute might also object to the presence of pigstuffs on their buses?

I guess not, since the Israeli police are the ones doing the larding, but it does seem strange.

Sasha, catching the 8.07 with Porky on board beats being blown up.

Jews wont want their dead to be sprayed with pig fat either, so David Gillies idea is a non-starter.

Snopes has more on the Pershing story. http://www.snopes.com/rumors/pershing.htm

The best way to deal with the terrorists is wipe them out. For every dead jew, 10 of them die.

Lard have mercy. I've even got an theme song all picked out for these 'Porkified for your protection' buslines.

Ah, cracklings, Rosie. Get on board. We're gonna ride till there ain't no more to go. Taking it slow on Busline de Cerdo.

Better yet. If orthodox Jews object, just put the pigfat on some buses -clearly marked. That way you save the lives of people on those buses. The ones who take the other buses take their chances. That also deflates the inevitable arguments of the pro-Arab apologists who will no doubt lodge complaints about cultural hatred.

Such terrible discrimination. Why shouldnt a Muslim be allowed to go to heaven?

Won't work. I can see the dodge now... "Ah, but even though you are rendered unclean, you also render all the Jews you kill unclean as well. Allah will forgive you, and purify you with His power, for your selfless devotion in the face of eternal damnation."

Pigs of Mass Destruction???

I can see the headlines now.

"In the year 2015, the porcine elections in the Jerusalem sty is hotting up when it is bought to the attention of the voters that candidate 'Porky' has falsified his servitude records on the 8:07 bus from Jafna. He was claiming payment when he was, in fact, actually sunning himself on the golan heights. When this is bought up at a press conference, the offending reporter is dragged out and beaten, with the body guards muttering 'Who does he think he is? Mike Moore?"

If true, and it works, great idea.

It does sound like an urban legend though.

Preservation of life is paramount in the relevent Jewish law. If it was seen to protect life it wouldn't be a problem.
