Or perhaps it is “…impending war”<br /><br />Meaning: “If you touch me, I will smite you with my Daily Roman Missal which I am holding firmly in my clenched fists - which go along with my clenched teeth.” <br /><br />“Get thee back to thy pew…pronto!”<br /><br />Of course it doesn’t help that Father abandons the altar and glad-hands everyone in the first five (or more…) pews. It is understood as ‘welcoming’ and ‘being inclusive’.<br /><br />For me, a right cross could be perceived as being inclusive.<br /><br />I mean, it is ‘pressing the flesh’…init?<br />GORhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14313101159848740722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4508374680487030801.post-63425710309930088222013-07-21T15:49:57.440+01:002013-07-21T15:49:57.440+01:00I just pull out an ostentatious handkerchief and p...I just pull out an ostentatious handkerchief and people just nod instead of shaking hands with someone with a cold...have not seen snoggers-eeiiuu, but then I am over 50, thank God.<br /><br />What is most horrible are people crossing the aisles and going through the entire congregation.

If they hold their hands up during the Our Father, I'm there like a flash. Once the husband dislodged his wife's dental plate in his enthusiasm. I placed a gardening catalogue discreetly in her handbag as they sashayed up to Communion. I hope she took the hint to get a healthier hobby.jadishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12630935810012897371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4508374680487030801.post-23962055272472210512013-07-20T19:18:13.176+01:002013-07-20T19:18:13.176+01:00Then there are the snoggers who think any single w...Then there are the snoggers who think any single woman under the age of 50 is game - you need to develop a swerve for those :) xx Jess Jessica Hoffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00336601507234428836noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4508374680487030801.post-66375388097591086092013-07-20T19:08:05.943+01:002013-07-20T19:08:05.943+01:00Reminds me of the lady who, on turning to the gent...Reminds me of the lady who, on turning to the gentleman next to her was told 'no tongues mind' - and I don't think he was a pentecostal!!Gertrudehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16443302079077125890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4508374680487030801.post-60317648411296494862013-07-20T18:59:33.718+01:002013-07-20T18:59:33.718+01:00Jessica/Patricius: imagine if real kissing were th...Jessica/Patricius: imagine if real kissing were the only option available - the practice would die out PDQ.
