Today while we were at a local pita restaurant waiting for the owner to show up so that we could ask for jobs at the local pita restaurant D and I saw a homeless man in a wheel chair. He was struggling up a driveway and his task looked difficult, tugging ever so awkwardly at our heartstrings. Having beaten the drive the man then wheeled over to a Catholic church, let his legs down from their resting place and stood up. "Hey, he can walk" D said, eyebrows raised. "Seems like it would have been easier for him to push the wheel chair up that drive way instead of using his arms to push the wheels the regular way". "Maybe he's got Arthritis, working out,hiding the fact that he's not crippled... or something" I said, reaching. We watched the man walk over to the front of the church,shuffle behind a bush, pull down his pants and pee against the wall. Now my eyebrows were raised, "thats a church!" I exclaimed. Dan laughed "isn't that a mortal sin? Thou shalt not pee on a place of worship?"

Meg and Dan: "PROFESSOR BENNY McCATHACATHCATH!"

Ben: That's right kids! Now, according to me, the crazy hobo pissing on a church wall is not technically a mortal sin, in that he probably doesn't know what the hell he's doing. It is therefore a venial sin, a sin committed without full knowledge. On the other hand, if he DOES in fact know what he's doing, hoo-wee! Watch out, crazy hobo! Devil gon' getcha! Haha! Bye kids!

Meg and Dan: What a jackass, that hobo guy, and what a jackass, that Ben guy.
