Lucy: So how many commandments does your church have? Danae: Um... 47 at the moment... but I'm expecting that to double over the next few weeks. Lucy: ? Oh... summer went by fast. Danae: Tell me about it.
Most churches offer an “apple” to join…you know, motivation of sorts. Her’s offers donuts and bags of stuff. Should do well….. plus, throw in some Jimmy Buffet music…………….
Danae has found her place in life.Inside of a month, she’ll have a daily TV series; in a year, a crystal cathederal.As long as she doesn’t wear red Prada shoes (like the Pope; yeah, he really did).
If you think Danae’s “commandments” are a problem, wait until she moves on to her “laws”! At least commandments don’t define capital offenses, but then, even Danae is only selfish, not particularly cruel enough to go “there”.
If the teacher is not a member of the church, he/she can assign homework. The student can’t assign homework, but that commandment does not prohibit doing homework.
47 commandments? Even Gibbs (NCIS) only has about 50 rules—and he’s a lot older than Danae. (“about 50,” because the first three are doubled up, from Franks’ Three Golden Rules, and he added a 51st recently)
If Danae’s not careful, she could quickly end up with an unwieldy mess of rules.
The First Commandment of the Senate: Thou shalt not interrupt a Senator with mouth fully engaged. There are no other Commandments, just variations. :-)
Other than the ‘make room for donuts’ Commandment, doesn’t Danae only have 2 other Commandments? Commandment No. 1 Danae is always right and Commandment No. 2 When in doubt, see Commandment No. 1.

“And you know there is more than 10 Commandments”
All that is really needed is one. The rest are all included under the 10th or are just nonsense.
