The "scrod" joke is old ... but still good.

Dear Father Steve: that site is ten years old. Look at the
language stuff though. Some of that kept me busy all morning.

Sorry, old dear, I was busy in church all morning. It IS the Second Sunday of Lent, you know.

Dear Father Steve: A pathetic old maid, too prissy to tell me she was kicking me out of the choir because my endocrines
were altering my voice, made me so angry I quit going to church.
And even if that had not happened, I now cannot see nor hear
well, nor be that far away from my "comfort station".

Well, then, the website looks to be the next best thing to going to church.

Padre

PS: Apologies, on behalf of Holy Mother Church, for the boorishness of that old maid.

Dear Father Steve: Boorish is too strong a word. She just knew that my voice was changing, but was unable to even tell me that. She was so prim, she didn't want to have anyone know that she knew the physiology thereof.
