Posted in: UncategorizedCoffee Morning: Sinning just got sinnier
Posted in: Uncategorized
In case you didn’t get the memo, the Vatican has added 7 additional Deadly Sins. None of which involve drinking coffee, waking up before 7:00 on a Friday, eating breakfast sandwiches or meeting with likeminded people for a rousing conversation about weekly happenings.
They do, however, frown upon:
Genetic modification
Carrying out experiments on humans
Polluting the environment
Causing social injustice
Causing poverty
Becoming obscenely wealthy
Taking drugs
Since we won’t cause social injustice or poverty, we’ll be back at Mildred’s in the Crossroads this Friday. See you at 7:30.
