Burying Saint Joseph upside down? I missed tha one. But I did witness the inauguration of Our Lady of the Bathtub.

In Buffalo, most Polish Catholics had grottoes on their front lawns containing a virgin. One day I drove by a house that had an old claw foot bathtub on the lawn and what looked like a grave dug next to it. Over a week's time, the tub was inserted vertically into the hole and the Virgin into the round end of the tub. She was forever after known as Our Lady of the Bathtub.

In truth, I envy anyone, even the charismatic crazies, who find peace in their religious beliefs. However, I object to being recruited. And Veronica's followers were the only Catholics I ever came across wo systematically tracked down and collared "fallen" Catholics and threatened hell and damnation and bad teeth if they refused to re-join. Far more aggressive than JWs and a bit spooky/creepy in their superstitions.

Joe - I have been asked by a newbie if you and I are a couple. This teasing has to stop.
