unless it is where purgatory is done – guess it won’t be useful then

It was a noble thought, Amanda.

How about those little buzzers cafes have, that go off when it’s your turn?

“Now serving number 9. Number 9 please. Now serving number 9… number 9… number 9… number 9… number 9… number 9… number 9… number 9… number 9… number 9… number 9… number 9… number 9… number 9… number 9… number 9… number 9… number 9… number 9… number 9… number 9… number 9… number 9… number 9… number 9… number 9… number 9… number 9… number 9… number 9… number 9… ……… …."

My guess, they would tear up the number, 666!

I’m with the Padre on this one! Standing in front of the altar for confession allows one to meditate on and think about one’s sins, which are soon to be forgiven.

I vote for the beeper kind. That way they can go outside and wait while drinking a beer, smoking (whatever they’ve got), etc…

Yeah, just how do they know it’s there turn to get into that long processional and into that small confessional where there’s a man whose got religion can tell if you if your sin’s original. If it is, start playing it safer. Drink thwine and chew the wafer: 2, 4, 6, 8, time to transubstantiate! (apologies to Tom Lehrer)
