odd thought hit me the other day at a bus stop

I'm not sure on the specifics behind this, feel free to chime in on the whys of it if you know, but it is something of a tradition that when you go and see the Pope (not just the current one) you must kiss his ring. It is either when you first goto see him or just before you leave but the kissing of the ring is key.

It's an odd tradition and it may have to do with luck but that's not the point. I personally would not do it regardless and that's just for this stray notion I had...

...do you suppose he washes that thing between kisses?

tradition, germs, pope
