To follow on the second vein....

An American came over to the UK to visit the 'old country' and whilst here, being a good Pentecostal, decided to go to church. He couldn't find a Pentecostal church anywhere, so he thought 'I'll do the next best thing', and went into an Anglican (Church of England) church. He found his way to a pew and sat down. The service progressed and he found himself getting more and more involved in what the priest was saying. Soon he forgot where he was, and at a particularly moving part of the sermon, shouted out 'Alleluia!' The rest of the congregation stared at him, and he sat down. Soon he was engrossed again. 'Praise the Lord!!' he yells at the priest. The priest stared at him, the congregation stared at him, and he sat down again, red-faced. But the sermon was just so inspiring, and soon he is leaping up and down, waving his hands in the air and shouting 'Ah-men!!' The churchwarden made his way over to the American visitor and took him by the arm. 'Excuse me sir, I'm sorry but we can't possibly allow behaviour like this in here.' 'Ah cayn't help it, Ah got religion!' 'That may be so sir, but you didn't get it here!!'

LTS, appologising for her American accent, it sounds worse than it types...
