Funny story........sort of

[CathyA]

DH is catholic and attends mass every Sunday. He told me a funny/curious story. Apparently, one time someone stole the offering. I don't know the details about how it was stolen, but now, when 2 men go to collect the offering and take it out the door at the rear of the pulpit area, one carries the bag with the money and the other carries a baseball bat! :0!

Seriously?

Well, in telling it to my relatives today at the easter get-together, DH corrected me. They don't walk through the church with the baseball bat, just through the hall and the annex (where the church over-flow is ) ...where church is still in session and go to the office. Still sounds pretty weird to me.

Here's a silly offering story.....

One Sunday my Grandmother reached into her purse and put what she thought was her offering envelope in the plate as it went by.

When she got home she gasped.... "I put my pantyliners in the offering plate!"

(she kept a couple of pantyliners in an white envelope in her purse)


I still LMAO thinking of those stodgy deacons opening up that special offering! :laff:

I think it's a great idea! Just so long as the one who's carrying the bat is willing to swing it come time.

Mtnlaurel. ROTFLMAO! That is priceless!!!
