Let's go out to the ball game, let's go out to the Park!

After trying for weeks, two Red Sox fans finally got tickets to a Sox game at Fenway Park.  Their seats were right behind home plate . . . great seats! They were thrilled . . . thrilled, that is, until two Roman Catholic nuns in full habit sat down directly in front of them, effectively blocking their view of the field. Trying to figure out a way to get the nuns to move, one of the fellows said to the other, “Too bad we’re not in Georgia; there are hardly any Catholics there!”   The other fellow answered, “Better we should be in Alabama!  There are even fewer Catholics there. “  Finally, one of the nuns turned around and quipped, “Actually, you should go to hell; there are no Catholics there!”

Thanks to Monica Merkel, a dedicated Catholic, for relating the above story on the occasion of Iffar's First Communion!

  1. To watch the Red Sox play this year is so painful and humbling, that you'd have to be a nun, to make it a habit. My guess is the Red Sox will occupy last place, in religious terms, the lower depths.
