"Darryl. The kind of friend Jesus would have." Humor from down under.

I found this funny, in a Godless, atheist sort of way.

Dear Darryl,
I have received your permission slip featuring what I can only assume is a levitating rabbit about to drop an egg on Jesus.
Thank you for pre-ticking the permission box as this has saved me not only from having to make a choice, but also from having to make my own forty five degree downward stroke followed by a twenty percent longer forty five degree upward stroke. Without your guidance, I may have drawn a picture of a cactus wearing a hat by mistake.
As I trust my offspring's ability to separate fact from fantasy, I am happy for him to participate in your indoctrination process on the proviso that all references to 'Jesus' are replaced with the term 'Purportedly Magic Jew.'
Regards, David.

He is pretty funny, though.

Probably the permission slip is real and the rest a funny riff.
Thought it was good for a laugh.

Love the hat-wearing cactus. It is a nice touch, as is the Toyota Prado.

Every time I send a note back to my kids' school, they cringe and want to see it first. I can only imagine what Darry's kid would have thought.
