I don't believe I inferred that the pastor was an "idiot".

I apologize. I jumped to a conclusion based on your use of the aphorism "sky pilot". I have always taken that as a slight if not an outright insult.

I actually agree with everything you wrote in your last post.

Regards,
David

This airhead didn't deserve 10 seconds, or two inches, of coverage.

I'd forgotten about her, and I look forward to forgetting about her again.

(Unless someone has a hot-looking pic ...)

In WW2, "sky pilots" was a slang term of endearment by our troops referring to their chaplains. An excerpt from a popular song of the time........

"Down went the gunner, a bullet was his fate
Down went the gunner, and then the gunner's mate
Up jumped the sky pilot, gave the boys a look
And manned the gun himself as he laid aside the Book, shouting

Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition
Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition
Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition
And we'll all stay free"
