Stone the Prostitute

（单词翻译:单击）

In the town square a nasty crowd had gathered, intending to stone to death a prostitute. From the crowd, Jesus strides forward, holds up his arms and yells "Let ye without sin cast the first stone!"

The crowd is contrite¹, for none amongst them can honestly say they are without sin. Then a little old, withered² up woman comes hobbling up, picks up a good size rock and beans the prostitute right between the eyes.

Jesus just stands there with his hands on his hips³ and says, "Sometimes, Mother, you really piss me off!"
