"Your efforts in the missionary position have not gone unnoticed..."

[sandyRoe]

This morning, in the moments between sleep and wakening, I think I may have seen an apparition. I believe it was St Brigid, the rightful patron saint of Ireland.
She was a sturdy, ruddy faced, woman with boots clabbered in mud and cow dung. If she hadn't been festooned with the reed crosses that bear her name I might not have recognised who she was.
"Sandy," she says to me, "while your efforts in the missionary position have not gone un-noticed, it's time to call it a day with those AB atheists. They are all, each and every one, beyond any human help. You'd be as well saving your breath to cool your porridge."
My question is this. Should I discuss this with my confessor when next I see him?

[Canary42]

No, discuss it with your shrink !

[mccfluff]

the question is am i beyond alien help?

[THEMOTLEY1]

I'd spend my time getting the mud and cow dung off the carpet, it's a sod to shift once it's dried in!

Sure that wasn't your wife Sandy ;-)

Why not try a different tack to getting converts? Instead of the frontal approach try a flanking move and go for the back door.

[Old_Geezer]

Yeah, why not ?

[sunny-dave]

"Evangelism through the Back Door" - probably banned in most of southern US States ...

[McMouse]

Amongst the heavenly host I believe St Brigid is also known as "The Flying Angel"

My Mum, a sturdy, ruddy faced woman is named after St. Brigid. She was missing for some time this morning.

[sandyRoe]

I thought I was experiencing an epiphany but it was just as mundane as that? Pity, great pity...

St Bridget formally known as Brid goddess of smithcraft

Does your confessor play a fiddle, by any chance. ;o)

[sandyRoe]

For the good are always the merry,

Save by an evil chance,

And the merry love the fiddle

And the merry love to dance:

[naomi24]

I love to dance. What does that make me?

[sandyRoe]

If I may mix a thingamajig, I'd say you're dancing in the last chance saloon.

[naomi24]

No problem. I have a 12 bore. ;o)

[shoota]

Are you sure that it wasn't an OWL?

[LazyGun]

I am not sure I like the idea of Sandy adopting the missionary position with us atheists on AB - I dont recall that he even had the good manners to ask first ;)

I do like the word clabbered - should be in much more common use.....

[jomifl]

Sounds like a typical succubus to me, they like these dressing up tricks, If it had been St Brigid she would have worn something a little more modest than boots and reed origami. What kind of boots were they by the way?

[sandyRoe]

I first came across the word, 'clabber', here at the end of the first verse.
