So sad but so true.

Jacob and Esau cut a deal over a bowl of soup.

We can be bought for less in too many cases.

Soup? Nope.

If memory serves, it was Esau selling his birthright to Jacob for a bowl
of porridge.

In today's world it may well be re-phrased as:

USA Selling it's Birthright to Halliburton for a Bowl of Oil

==================================
Porridge seems to play an important part in literature. Note how, many
centuries later, a certain 'Goldielocks' did a break and enter to steal
this stuff from three innocent bears, who had gone out to commune with
nature. Then 'she' trashed their sleeping quarters...

Where oh where do you come up with this ****?

Good question. Let's see...

a) bowl of soup didn't sound right. I remembered 'porridge'
b) The previous poster noted that somtimes people can be bought too cheaply.
c) The original biblical phrase came to mind.
d) I typed in the phrase.
e) I noticed Esau was potentially a very badly misspelled USA.
f) Instantly, I had a vision of EVIL, in all it's swirling, sulphurous,
Ashcroftian, demonic horror. I was mesmerized by the stench of unrefined
oil.
g) After that, the trembling slowly subsided. I wiped the fear induced
perspiration from my brow, changed my soiled underwear and then, the
rest of the composition fell naturally into place.
h) I pressed the 'Send' button just before the jack booted Cheneyians
kicked my door in.

It's a good thing I have all those seventies vintage boat anchor
receivers piled all over the place. The bumbling robos tipped one over
and were subdued by the weight. I will wait for the elections in
November to be over before releasing my unwilling and prostrate house
guests. By that trime they will have forgotten why they're here.

They claim they can take the discomfort, but all the cats in heat here
keep vigorously backing into their mustachioed dogfaces. Being a poor
country limits our ability to abuse the helpless. With a larger GNP, I'd
be able to use MUCH larger mammals in heat.


That should be a suffient outline, but I can't guarantee one hundred
percent completeness.

That's a good analogy considering the tortured logic engaged in by
those who believe either fable.

In a convoluted, winding, anfractuous, flexuous, meandering, meandrous,
serpentine, sinuous, snaky way I feel you may be close to the truth.

Doing a string search on a Gutenberg project Bible file, comes up with
"A pottage of lentiles". Pottage is best described as bean stew as it's
a lot thicker than soup. Lentils are those little flat flying saucer
shaped peas. The old world before Columnbus didn't have what we call
beans, but they did have Fava beans, chick peas/garbanzos, peas and
lentils. And something else called pluses which contain a neurotoxin
and were outlawed, except that they're still grown and used as food in
poor parts of India, where the rich landlords can get away with feeding
the peasants poisoned food.

(Sorry, just a diversion. My killfile left me with only 92 postings
out of 359).
