In one of my jobs I clean stuff. Sound exciteing? Oh, it is. Especially the place I had to clean the other day. There was like this sewing convention or something. Actually, I think it was a home-craft expo, but sewing convention seems so much more apt.
Now I was looking at this... thing. It was like a needlework or something. I dunno. Anyway, it was apparently of a church. I know this because it was entitled "CHURCH". Anywho, the description said "This is a church [another hint that it was a church]. Since I live on a busy street, the church signifies my need for peace."
Now don't get me wrong. I'm no artist. Heck, the closest I get to being artistic is when I make my mashed potato into rude objects (boobies, etc.) just before I eat it (build it and they will come). But let me take a stab at this. I don't think it signifies that you yearn peace. No it signifies that you are a religious nutter that needs to get out more because yo spend all your time inside knitting shit.
Anyway, on the radio the other day I heard there was some church in town that was blessing your pets. Basically you take your pet along (dog, cat, gopher, bovine, etc.), they splash water on it, and you have a happy pet that doesn't worship Satan. It would be great. Think about it. How does your dog smell when it's wet? Not so yummy. But wait the fun doesn't stop their. Now you have pissed off animals that are wet, fighting with each, and most likely scratching, biting and pissing on their owners because that holy water messed up their hair-do.
Now, I don't know about anyone else, but the only time I'm going to bless an animal is just before I cover it in gravy and wash it down with a nice red wine
