Is Dogearing a Sin?

[-Carlos-]

Yes or no?

 

[SFG75]

Most definitely, I think it could get you the firing squad in some countries.

While not in the original TEN.. nice people don't doggear

Well may not, but perhaps that is why the good Lord strikes people with lightning-it is plausible you know.

"Think I'll just bend this here before I go out and.......CRACK!!!!!!!!"

THOU SHALT NOT BEND THY PAGE.

Could be, I hear its REALLY dangerous to be doggearing a book while holding a golf club while standing under a tree during a thunderstorm. I wouldn't know, I don't golf

It says in the bible that dog earing is a sin, but I couldn't dog ear the page where it said it, so I can't tell you were to look. You may ask, why didn't I use a book mark? Well, my book mark is too long for most books, and although satisfactory, it is ungainly in that respect. And I would dare not fold my book mark, any sooner than I would dog ear a page!

Yeah, but that's OT.

1 And lo, Jesus spaketh unto the disciples, thus concludeth our lecture for today.
2 And He bade them put their writing-sticks down and mark well in their scrolls the place upon which he finished, that they may return to-morrow and continue from the selfsame spot.
3 But rabbi, quoth Peter, Your people are poor and own not bookmarks in the form of bits of string or memorabilia from the New York Public Library. How shall we mark our pages?
4 Hark ye, and hark ye well, spaketh Jesus; fold ye the pages back in the manner of a dog's ear. For the dog is man's best friend, and thus 'tis no shame for the Son of man to create his likeness.
5 But rabbi, quoth Judas, does Leviticus not expressly forbid this?
6 Pffft, dismissedeth Jesus; Leviticus forbade everything that's fun. Of weight is not whether you leave a mark in the book, 'tis whether the book leaves a mark in you.
7 There is always a mark in me, punnedeth Mark.
8 And the disciples did groan.
9 But rabbi, quoth John, our scrolls have no pages which we can fold back. They are... well, scrolls.
10 Then in THE LORD'S name, cried Jesus in holy ire, take care to remember what I told you today and just continue in the same place to-morrow! Jeez! How hard can it be?
11 And the disciples did flee from His face and speak amongst themselves, verily confused as to some of the details of what He had told them.
12 And Jesus did rub His eyes and sigh deeply. One of these days, He did promise Himself, He would write all this stuff down Himself rather than trust others to do it for Him.

Not a sin exactly, more like a context-sensitive misdemeanor. It is ok (but not recommended) to dog ear your own book, but thou shalt not molest thy neighbor's book or thy partner's book or the public library's book. Sort of like correcting your own child with a gentle pat on the backside, but keep your hands off all those other children.

I don't know. Is there a book protective services that we could call in to report abused and neglected books? Perhaps a social worker and therapist could sit with the book owner and book, whereby, they can talk about how dog-earing the pages made them feel? I would speculate that it is due to the reader's past interactions with his mother and how he felt the need to dog-ear the page as a result of that neurotic interaction.

I don't know about Book Protective Services, but considering the season, maybe Dogearers should worry more about the man in red.. the jolly old elf... you know, SANTA..I hear he's making a list, checking it twice... and I suspect he takes a dim view of this heinous practice of dogearing. My sources also tell me he has a special task force made up of Elves With Attitude, whose job it is to whip the naughty folks into shape so Santa can pad his Nice list to keep his numbers up.

Checking a list twice is pretty pointless unless he wants to take a second look at the kids just barely straddling the line between naughty and nice. How do you think he remembers which pages those kids are on...? I'll give you a hint: he doesn't use post-its.

Are you suggesting that HE would stoop to dogearing???

That's it bup....you get coal this year

And the Lord spake down unto Moses saying, "Take these, my 11 Commandments which I have enscibed onto 3 tablets, unto the people and show them my will."
And Moses did say unto the Lord, "Lord, I know that thou art all-knowing and wiser than I, but why three tablets instead of but two? For I fear my ability to labor with three down the mountain, for they doth weigh much."
And the Lord did say unto Moses, "Moses, thou art weak, but wise. I will take thine suggestion and remove one of the commandments so they doth fit equally on two tablets."
And Moses asked, "Which commandment doest thou wish to remove, My Lord?"
And the Lord replied, "Take away that which forbiddeth the folding of pages for it shall not be needed for many centuries."
And Moses said, "Oh, Lord on high! Thou art wise and powerful!" and taketh the Commandments of the Lord to the people of Israel.

Then there's Jesus' statement in the sermon on the mount, "Blessed are the page folders, for they shall be secure in their place in life." Of course, that line was cut by the council at Nicaea, but any seasoned Dan Brown reader can tell you how much THAT is worth. And what a coincidence; the gnostic gospels (see below) were obviously dogeared!

GASP!.....don't mention the DOG-EAR CODE!

the dogearing of books is a fire hazard, cause dog's ears burn easily* That is why you have to be quiet in libraries, because of all the dog eared pages. If any one dog ear starts to burn the whole library could erupt. And just as a single sound can result in an avalanche, in this case, a single sound could result in a fire.

* as one says of ears burning upon audit. "My ears are burning" is an expression of hearing, and since literaly dogs are more like to hear, their ears are figured more like to burn

also, a dog earing is a kinetic fire for a dog, admiting that pain is ignition.

 

[helgi]

applications in high culture, were ears burn brightly, eh?

and given the case of snoop doggy dog, he is a nosy dog who's ears are burning from the sin of dog earing, and he's gonna burn.

of course, if a dog earing corresponds to two holes upon the ear, it may dog ear, and prevent hearing/burning of the ears. this if the initial ignition of pain is doused

Didn't a Mike Tyson once bite off another boxer's ears and say he would eat his family, or something? Well, I guess he bit the guys ear so hard his family's ears were burning. Does mike establish that boxers are cannibalistic?

 

[helgi]

if you dog ear a page too much it becomes doggone, right? Is this a dogawful joke? Sinful?

why do people dog ear? Aren't they content with a table of content? It must be a graceless sin to leave the table with no excuse to dog ear.

I knew I'd seen somewhere in the bible that it was a sin to dog ear, but I hadn't dog eared the page. But I remember now it was in the book of mark. Must be a big deal if there's a whole book of mark
