"The Sect of NIL"
Morris was passing a small courtyard and
heard voices murmuring. He went in and
saw an altar with a large zero in the middle
and a banner that said 'NIL.'
White-robed people were kneeling before
the altar chanting hymns to The Great
Nullity and The Blessed Emptiness.
Morris turned to a white-robed observer
beside him and asked, ....
"Is Nothing Sacred?"

"Nothing"
A rabbi, burdened by the importance of his
work, went into the synagogue to pray.
Falling to his knees, he lamented, "O Lord,
I am nothing! I am nothing!"
Just then a Jewish judge passed by and
overhearing the prayer was moved to join
the rabbi on his knees. Shortly, he too,
was crying aloud, "O Lord, I too am nothing!
I am nothing!"
The janitor of the temple, awed by the sight
of the two men praying joined them, crying,
"O Lord, I also am nothing! I am nothing!"
At this, the judge nudged the rabbi and said,
"Now, look who thinks he's nothing!"
