Funny you mention Joseph and Mary. Scanning some old papyrus of the older fragments attributed to Luke shows an alternate spelling of the word Myrrh. It appears that instead of Myrrh meaning a type of oil, it transliterates to something sounding more like Morruh.
Which, in the days of Christ, was a common word used to describe a macaroni casserole. Thus proving that Joseph and Mary were Mormons, because Mormons always take a casserole to a new mother. (Second Avenue-Is the secret headquarters of the Army of the Twelve Monkeys. They're the ones who are gonna do it. I can't do anything more now. I have to go.) Have a merry Christmas!

They were travelers with a purpose. By all accounts of the story, the inn was full and the only place which had any shelter was the stable, most likely a dark dank cave, not a structure. Most likely they paid for that as well. Had they not, I'm guessing the owner might well have chased them off. It was a fairly brutal time in history in that part of the world. Chivalry is a fairly western construct. So, I guess you'll be giving a room to some refugees? Good for you. On Fri, Dec 18, 2015 at 11:58 AM, Patrick Leary <[email protected]> wrote: Apparently. WWJD, right? Maybe this?: In reply Jesus said: “A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, when he was attacked by robbers. They stripped him of his clothes, beat him and went away, leaving him half dead. 31 A priest happened to be going down the same road, and when he saw the man, he passed by on the other side. 32 So too, a Levite, when he came to the place and saw him, passed by on the other side. 33 But a Samaritan, as he traveled, came where the man was; and when he saw him, he took pity on him. 34 He went to him and bandaged his wounds, pouring on oil and wine. Then he put the man on his own donkey, brought him to an inn and took care of him. 35 The next day he took out two denarii[c] and gave them to the innkeeper. ‘Look after him,’ he said, ‘and when I return, I will reimburse you for any extra expense you may have.’ 36 “Which of these three do you think was a neighbor to the man who fell into the hands of robbers?” 37 The expert in the law replied, “The one who had mercy on him.” Jesus told him, “Go and do likewise.” Short of that, all I know is too many of my fellow citizens would have chased away Joseph and Mary from the barn with guns drawn, seeing them as scary refugees or freeloaders. Jesus might have been born in some dank ditch, her mother needing to hide in the shadows least the Trumpians slay her. Alas, have my countrymen become as souless as the Levite in Luke 10?

Your local poor schlub a-hole can be arrested and charged if he doubles the price of gas, water, or other life-critical goods after a natural disaster – that’s a crime in America.
