“My friends, I have always been open about my religious beliefs because I firmly adhere to the concept that what makes this nation great is freedom of religion. Whether you are a Scientologist, Mormon, Satanist, Christian, Muslim or Jew, you have the right to worship as you deem fit.
Now, as most of you are aware, I have long been a practicing Scientologist Mormon Satanist Christian Muslim Jew. The reason behind my multiple, and often conflicting beliefs is due to the fact that I’ve extrapolated Pascal’s Wager to its furthest conclusion. Basically, when I die, I’m covered regardless of who’s actually running this show. So I got that going for me.
Nonetheless, being a SciMoChristoSatanIslaJew is not easy. For instance, if I come down with a cold, the sheer amount of prayers and rituals I have to go through is staggering. It’s a non-stop day of rosary beads, praying to mecca, shedding Thetans, slaughtering goats, fasting and devouring live baby heads. And the tithing. Dear Lord, the tithing.
Being that baby heads, goats and rosaries don’t grow on trees, you can imagine the money I have to pay for the health care that my religions demand. This is why I and other SciMoChristoSatanIslaJews are demanding to be treated with the respect we deserve. We demand that the current health care reform bill cover our wide variety of needs.
This is not an outrageous request. After all, the current health care reform bill already has a provision which would prohibit the government from discriminating against “religious and spiritual health care.” Simply put, if you pray, the federal government will pay.
For me, however, simple prayer isn’t enough for my religious and spiritual health. My health is incredibly demanding spiritually. Like the other day, when I sprained my wrist and was forced to drink South African weasel blood. Hell, up until then, I wasn’t even aware there were weasels in South Africa. But let me tell you, there are, and those little critters are just packed with blood. And they don’t come cheap.
This is why all American taxpayers must fund my religious and spiritual health care. Because if Christians are going to be singled out as deserving of compensation for their beliefs, so should we Pascalian SciMoChristoSatanIslaJews. It’s fair, and its the American way for all Americans to support the religious beliefs of others.
So please, help me in my pursuit to stay spiritually and physically healthy by forcing the federal government to pay for my rituals of praying to Jesus, Allah and God while purging myself of Thetans and gorging on baby heads and weasel blood. And the tithing. Dear Lord, I could use some help with all the tithing.
Please contact the Freedom from Religion Foundation and tell them “Yes! We all should pay for someone’s religious beliefs, regardless of how complicated and often illegal they are!”
Thank you, and I have retained counsel on this matter.”

Wolfrum. You came this [ ] close to the greatest joke of all-time, inched right up to it, and then... spazzed. There's no other word for it. Though "cramped" might work. "Flaked" too.
Single Prayer Health Care.
The comedian's Holy Grail. That [ ] close. Greatest joke of all-time. Flailed.
Single Prayer.
Damn, that woulda been funny.
The durned joke almost writes itself.

I've searched high and low and all over various pages for this provision yet I can't find it. As soon as I read this, I knew the time was right for me to impliment my own cult of religious medical plan.
