A few weeks ago, a friend was stuck riding with a slightly loony cabbie. Along with some other disturbing behavior, he started grilling her about religion, and at some point he came up with this beauty:

  "Do you know all the Ten Amendments?"

  Pretty wild, huh? This guy's giving quizzes and he doesn't even know what they're called.

  Anyway, I would love to find this in print too, but all my searches all lead me toward discussion of real amendments. Has anyone heard this before?
