How often can you get away with getting communion. We didn't eat them all, since they're pretty tasteless. Most of them ended up in the gutter, after counting to nominate the winner.
I vol'ed to be alter boy as often as possible (til I left). The church served the wine in little shot glasses. Lots of people just touched their lips and left the rest. It was up to the alter boy to empty the non drank shots into the sacred mason jar. Yeah-right. I did me some fine communin I'll tell you what!
LOL mh!!!! Many times I have been asked to help the sacristans after Mass . . . this meant emptying the unused communion wine. I made sure they knew that I would be around, working, if they needed help.
I DID tick off one church boss, once - we were both "helping", and I commented that it was a great job . . . ha! . . . but I was heading to another church anyway. Yep. If you know JUST when and where to hang around, after Mass . . . free wine, woo-hoo!
