You can say that again!

My grandmother (who was never Catholic, mind you) used to take great offense whenever a television show made fun of the Catholic Church in any way, shape, or form. She's purse up her face in a scowl, fold her hands across her chest, and make good and sure that whoever was watching those shows - and everyone around them - knew that she didn't approve of their laughing at that kind of humor.

But I can testify that, when the guests wasn't looking, she busted out laughing good and hard any time Monty Python or Dave Allen At Large did a church sketch (mind you, she never changed the channel when either of those shows were on, especially Dave Allen At Large). Half the time I doubt she fully understood the religious humor. I think just the sight of men acting silly in fancy vestments and stiff collars was what amused her.
