(no subject)
I had to share a great quote from my friend L (the one who is also my neighbor-at-the-mall). She is SO FUNNY. (Just ask her. "Oh my God, I'm HILARIOUS.") Seriously though, she is.
First the background. Apparently my ex-husband and her soon-to-be-ex husband attend the same church, "Crossroads," though neither EVER went to church when married to us (L is Catholic, I'm a Catholic-friendly quasi-neopagan agnostic, and yes that was my shortest possible description). Crossroads is a new Protestant megaplex type of church, with really slick graphic designs and marketing and stuff, and lots of concerts and programs that try to be hip and youth-oriented. That kind of thing. Whatever.
As far L and I know, our exes don't know each other, but we like to joke that they probably know each other and are best friends or something (or something) now that they go to Crossroads.
So she was complaining to me about some money issues with her ex, and it was sooooo reminiscent of my ex and his behavior with money. I said, "L, I swear, they are DATING each other, they're so much alike." She said, "Yeah! Hey, do Protestants believe in butt sex? Let's call Crossroads and ask them."
Then, in a loud obnoxious voice that was half the hilarity (I wish I could convey it in written words), she said, pretending to make the phone call: "'Ummm, hi, is this Crossroads? Hey -- do you guys believe in butt sex? I mean... I know there's that thing in the Bible, about Sodom and Goliath, where, like, he stuck a rock up the other guy's butt, or something.'"
