Well, Yeah.
I wanna die in bed surrounded by fat grandchildren, but guess that's off the menu.

I wonder what I'd have to swear on. Maybe a dictionary.
You can avow. No book needed.

What is even happening?
Why do you hate America?
Because I have no cabana boys, no cake, and no SUV.
How do you expect me to adapt to this (sub) standard of living?

When I notarize stuff, I have people "affirm" instead of opening that can of worms.

Going back a short ways, I was reading the NYT story Nutty posted about the guys saving another guy who fell on the the NY subway tracks.
They had to lie down, think really thin, and let the train pass over them!!!!!
Who knew you could actually fit people under there. I thought that was only ever true in the movies.

So it's not the book but the belief that counts? I wonder what I'd have to swear on. Maybe a dictionary.
John Quincy Adams swore on a law book, and another president (can't remember who) swore in on, I believe, the Constitution.

I have people "affirm"
Oh, yeah. I think it's "affirm" not "avow." Or possibly both. Either way, people being sworn into office actually get an option that requires no diety or holy book.
I just think nobody holding national office has used that yet.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
For some reason, this swearing in business is making me think of my French teacher in high school, who made us write-- literally-- "I do hereby affirm..." on our tests and than sign our name. I could never figure out WHAT we were affirming until at some point I saw a longer version printed out (perhaps on a Regents exam or in college).
Also, I just had my photo taken for work. And I have 42 chins. And my right eye completely shits when I smile. Now, I had about 24 chins even when I was a size 6, so I am used to it, but gee whiz that is a lot of chin!
