Laughing Yogi, Crying Monk (videos)
Having already posted several cursing, angry preachers, I feel compelled to widen the net, theologically speaking. Here's a video of a laughing monk [download video, 10 megs, mpeg format, or stream it from youtube here] which makes it clear: when choosing between and a laughing monk a cursing priest, always go for the latter. Cursing priests are a lot less scary. (via)
This set me off on a fruitless search for crying rabbi's, sneezing Imams, and so on. The only thing I found was this crying monk, but alas, he's only crying on the inside. The poor guy is learning the Shaolin practice of "Iron Egg Skill," aka "Groin skill," aka "getting kicked in the balls over and over again." Really hard: [download video, 6 megs, mpeg format or stream it from youtube here]
I wish that guy was my dad.

I can't watch the clip because I'm at work, but I've seen the Iron Egg Skill. In fact, I have an entire DVD of shaolin monks doing things like carrying tables with their mouth, wrestling bulls, breaking logs over their heads, chopping lettuce on their stomachs, and so on. Perhaps you'd like a copy?
