    Yesterday about 12 noon I was the victim of a drive-by blessing. On my way home from a walk with my son and my mother, our stroll was suddenly interrupted by someone roaring at us from a car across the street. We turned around to find it was the local parish priest shouting at my mother.
    "Hey, were you able to make it this morning" he said.
    She said "No Father".
    He then said "Not to worry I have them in the car". He then jumped out with two F**k off candles.
    My mother walked over to him and on a busy street with lots of people passing he blessed her throat.
    "Sure come over and we will do you" he then shouted at me.
    "Sh**e" I thought to myself.
    Now I am not religious or am I rude in public so with much embarrassment I went over to the priest and he crossed two candles around my throat and said a blessing.
    Turns out twas St. Blaises Day.:eek:

    Is that some sort of sexual inuendo?

    I caught my Mother flicking holy water on me from one of those little bless-yourself-as-you-leave pots (because I'm a heathen).

    I pretended it stung like acid.

    Was your mother impressed by the size of his candle?

    Drive-by blessings are becoming a daily occurence these days, not to mention the vast quantity of counterfeit communion in circulation and the turf wars between the Caths and Prods.

    Don't feel safe walking these streets alone anymore.

    It all started when God sent his son to the Middle East. That was a bad call on his part.

    Damn right he was gonna get his ass crucified. Dumb cracker all up in everyone's bidness.

    St. Brendan, St Columcille, St Bridget (Brid), + every parish in this country has a Saint named after them. . .
