Most of them smoked a lot, and were drunks. My family, though mostly shit heads, are really funny people. I swiped this from my aunt, who posted in on her fb wall. Catholic people will always have a place in my heart, and I love going to church functions because there's wine and beer everywhere, and catholics are hilarious drunks.
One time I asked my priest, Father Luke, why god made me such a cry baby (I was 8 and everyone loved picking on me because I was sensitive), and he replied very dryly, "He doesn't like you."
We both laughed our asses off, and then he poured the rest of his beer in my cup, and patted me on the head.
I had a Catholic priest as a maths teacher at school.
Reverand Gover his name was, fantastic sense of humour.
I think he should be out of prison now he was sentenced to ten to twelve years for child molestation. ( not me I hasten to add).
Apparently he made young boys dress in tennis shorts and whipped them with lengths of vacuum hose!!
It was on the news shortly after i left school.
You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid.
