I made a joke about the Holy Mary in primary school and was made to wash my mouth out with soap and, kept back a year from taking my Holy Communion. One of the nuns rapped me across the knuckles with the blunt side of a ruler for asking too many questions. Showed graphic pictures of abortions to deter us all from having one. Ahhhh school - best days of your life! p.s. I believe in Darwin's theories of evolution, so all in all, I'm not the God-fearing Catholic girl they tried to make me anyway so:p! |

I think Coca-cola gave him a red suit. Before that he traditionally wore green.
