  • Perils of a Catholic upbringing

    Perils of a Catholic  Upbringing


    As I walked  down the busy footpath, Knowing I was late for Mass, my eye  fell upon one of those Unfortunate, homeless street people  that are found in every city These days.

    Some people  turned to stare. Others quickly Looked away as if the sight  would somehow contaminate Them.

    Recalling my old parish  priest, Father Dominic, who Always admonished me to ‘care for  the sick, feed the hungry and Clothe the naked’, I was moved  by some powerful inner urge to Reach out to this unfortunate  person.

    Wearing what can Only be described as rags,  carrying every worldly possession in Two plastic bags, my  heart was touched by this person’s Condition.

    Yes,  where some people saw only rags, I saw a True, hidden  beauty.

    A small voice inside my head called Out, ‘Reach  out, reach out and touch this Person!’

    Today I was beaten  up by a woman!
    I was in the  elevator when that busty lady got in.
    I was staring at  her boobs, when she said,
    would you please  press One  .
    So I did. I don’t  remember much afterwards.
    Recovery time 4 – 6  weeks.

  • Dating in 1960s

    DATING IN THE 60’s. Remember those days ?

    It was a hot Saturday evening in the summer of 1963, and James had a date with Annabella.

    He arrived at her house and rang the bell.

    ‘Oh, come on in!’ Annabella’s mother said as she welcomed

    James.

     

    ‘Have a seat in the sitting room.. Would you like

    something to drink? Lemonade? Tea?’

    ‘Tea, please,’ James said. Mum brought the tea.

     

    ‘So, what are you and Annabella

    planning to do tonight?’ she asked interestedly.

    ‘Oh, probably go to the flicks and then maybe grab a bite to eat at the coffee bar, perhaps have a walk on the beach afterwards.’

    ‘Annabella likes to screw, you know,’ Mum informed him.

    ‘Really?’ James gasped, surprised to say the least.

    ‘Oh yes,’ mother continued, ‘When she goes out with her friends, that’s all they do!’

    ‘Is that so?’ asked James, incredulously.

    ‘ Oh yes,’ she said. ‘As a matter of fact, she’d screw all night if we let her!’

     

    ‘Phew! Well, thanks for the tip!’ James said as he began thinking about alternative plans for the evening.

    A moment later, Annabella came down the stairs looking pretty as a picture, wearing a pink blouse and a hooped
    skirt  and with her hair tied back in a bouncy ponytail.  She greeted James.

     

    ‘Have fun, kids!’ mother said as they left.

     

    Half an hour later, a completely dishevelled Annabella burst into the house and slammed the front door behind her.

     ‘The Twist, Mum!’ she yelled angrily to her mother in the kitchen.

    ‘The bloody dance is called the …………Twist!’

  • Leviticus 20:13

    *MARRIAGE AND MARIJUANA !!!For those who haven’t heard, CALIFORNIA just
    passed both laws – Allowing Gay marriage and legalizing use of marijuana.
    The fact that gay marriage and marijuana were legalized on the same day
    Makes perfect biblical sense because Leviticus 20:13 says, “If a man lies
    with another man they should be stoned.” I obviously just hadn’t
    interpreted it correctly before…*
