Dear The Curmudgeon's Agony Aunt
I did my did my bit at the Church shop. I bought a couple of things and Christine paid for a liturgy she had taken last sunday. That was all the business that happened. I could have saved myself $16 by attending my regular parish. It was the last Sunday for the priest. He is off to Waikanae. I gave him a wave as he left in his car. He seemed nice enough, but his jokes were very hard to understand with his Filipino accent.He told one today which I didn't really get. I really do not think jokes are always appropriate at Mass where Jesus and all the angels in eternity are joining in celebrating the sacrifice Christ made for sinful man. Then coming to each of us in person in the Holy Eucharist. It is so humiliating receiving Jesus.
Should I be worried?

Dear Robert
Dear Robert
You are joking aren't you?
You say that your priest (is that Father Offthebetta?) tells jokes at Mass that you 'don't get'. It would have helped if you'd mentioned what the joke was. Was it this one?
When I was a kid, I used to pray every night for a new bike. Then I realised, the Lord doesn't work that way. So I just stole one and asked Him to forgive me ... and I got it!
What a hoot!
Should you be worried? I'm not sure but I can damn well say that everyone around you should be worried especially when you say: "It is so humiliating receiving Jesus." Now I don't know what goes on in that church of yours on Sundays but there's a suggestion there of something rather unhealthy. maybe you should do some soul-searching on that before bothering me with your silly questions mmm?
Yours,

A very good post but some grammatical mistakes made my reading a little more difficult.
ReplyDelete1) "I did my did my bit at the Church shop." Okay, that one was Robert's.
2) "...of something rather unhealthy. maybe you should do some soul-searching..." That one was yours.
For me it is a 'humbling' experience for me to be able to help you other bloggers with your grammar.
Thanks for that. Maybe you can put your helpful' comments in the form of a letter to me. I have just the right response and also a nice little cartoon (circa 15th century) of devils sticking pitchforks up sinners' bums.

I agree with Alan. If I was god what the fuck do I need Man for. I wouldn't invent him. I'd invent some cool stuff for myself - and, before you say I'm being (pun there) selfish, there wouldn't be anyone else for me to be selfish to - well, except for Lynn who I would have created.

Yes, OK, if Richard's Bass Bag existed, only you could run it like it's being run.
ReplyDeleteI am like the god of bass bagging.
ReplyDeleteOK, but, as I said only you could run it like it's being run.
