Come on, now!
We're at 80... You've got a lot more posting to do!
Hang in there AB....
....so okay....how about my church wants me to be a nun?
In the Name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost.
Read with patience....understand that at times things just :::happen::: to me.
So a fellow parishioner says he wants the church, in our exalted Parish Life Center, to sponsor a fundraising talent show.
Heh.
So I make some kind of offhand comment that I would LOVE to do a comedy skit about Catholicism.
Offhand. Like we all do sometime.
A month later I get an email....something about picturing a surprise visit to the PLC by a nun, fully habited, a shocker to the attendees....a prelude to YOUR comedy routine.
I paraphrase but get it? Already I am signed up for a skit and now I must enter dressed as a nun.
I tell my choir mate...”I AM NOT doing this,” I am adamant. Heck my first idea of the Catholic comedy sketch was...well it was offhand.
Though I could really come up with some funny stuff...like...”CONSUBSTANTIAL”.
Who came up with that?
A bunch of men with point hats threw their word into the ring? What?
that word, for the non-Catholic, is in an updated version of the Creed of whatever it’s called. Don’t know the word they used to use but....consubstantial?
Anyway, last week I go to choir. At my desk is a brown envelope with the word “pat” on the front.
Inside is a printout of a web costume site. The printout was of nun costumes...some of them, you should smile, R-rated.
The handwritten note said that the church would RENT the nun costume for me....just pick the one I want.
Also was a printout with a whole bunch of Catholic jokes.
I am not making this up.
Like I told my choir mate...I am NOT doing this.
