Don’t leave me hanging due to the telephone...

I was watching a documentary about who killed Jesus, and it was so riveting I fell asleep. However, it did blab on about the Samaritans at one point.

Now, as I understand it, if you feel like topping yerself, you give these Samaritans a ring, and they tell you not to.


Or something,


However, I would query the validity of ringing up these Samaritans. In the first instance, they probably speak Hebrew*, so getting your point across may be a tad difficult.


Second, why should we trust 'em? According to that ever accurate historical record known as the bible, some dozy berk off to get the horn lay in the dust bewailling the loss of his judaic mobile by some hooded Herod, when he was ignored by a bunch of people - a priest, a Levite and a Samaritan, but only the Samaritan helped him.


Note - A Samaritan. And now the whole race is responsible for stopping people jumping off Richards! As if you'd to to all the trouble of blocking up the garage, running a hose through, turn on the car, as as the noxious fumes rise suddenly think "Hmmm. I'd better ring some god-botherers to talk me out of this"!


However, put it into modern terms, and the whiff of conspiracy bottom burps from within it's cakky undercrackers.


Imagine the victim is a poor old Rabbi, and the good 'samaritan' is Oskar Schindler who has this Rabbi on his list... Aha! The Samaritans were clearly the Nazi's of the day, and this whole phone call thing is a front to lure the unwary in!


"Velkomm to zee SS. Das Samaritan Service und not ze Schutzstaffel at all."

Remember - it's not The Good Samaritans you ring - just Samaritans in general.


And if they're up to their plums in Generals, then it's no wonder they get hauled up on these war uniform orgies that Formula 1 afficionadoes are most affectionate about!


Then again, I thought the Samaritans were spud-faced enemies of lighthouse terrorising lumiescent green jellyfishies checkin' out Leela's 'gravel pit'...


Shows what I know, don't it...
