Confucius say, “The way of the superior man is threefold, but I am not equal to it. Virtuous, he is free from anxieties; wise, he is free from perplexities; bold, he is free from fear.”
OK, it’s not funny. But Confucius did say it!

The silly thing is, when I was a tot, I wanted to learn about the real Confucius, so I bought one of those “Confucius Says” joke books in the mistaken belief that it was a book of genuine quotes…
Specifically, it’s a blackthorn walking stick, made according to the traditional methods used for ceremonial warhammers. But it’s emphatically not a weapon… You wouldn’t confiscate an old man’s walking stick, would you? The fact that the big knobby handle is perfect for knocking English bastards upside the head is, of course, pure coincidence.
Moderator comments: Otanx has noticed that the prior post to this thread was from 2006, so it’s a three years old zombie. We don’t normally care much about such resurrections in Cafe Society forum, but please be aware that some of the earlier posters might not be around any more, and might not respond to newer comments.
Please note:
IF you have “Confucius say” jokes that you want explained, it’s OK to post them here.
HOWEVER, if you just want to share such jokes (e.g., Otanx’s post), they probably belong in the Game Room (a forum that didn’t exist when this thread was started)
