This happened about 20 years ago, shortly after my wife and I got married.

My wife helped teach confirmation classes at our Catholic church. Each year, after the students were confirmed, the priest would invite the volunteers to dinner at the rectory.

That year, the Archbishop of Atlanta was in town and joined us for dinner.

There were about eight of us total, including my wife, the priest, and the Archbishop.

Dinner was served family style. Everyone got up to fill their plates in the kitchen and then returned to the dining room table.

My wife and I were already seated while the priest and Archbishop were still in the kitchen getting their food.

On the table were little decorative pats of butter shaped like flowers.

My wife picked up her knife and cut into one.

Without thinking, I said, loud enough for everyone at the table to hear:

“Susan!(fake name) You deflowered the butter!”

Fortunately, the priest and Archbishop were still in the kitchen and didn’t hear me.

My wife, however, was not amused.

Twenty years later, I still maintain it was a solid joke.

TL;DR: At my first dinner with Catholic clergy, I loudly accused my new wife of “deflowering the butter.”

I’ve been feeding the same two crows for about a month now. However, just now, about six crows were circling the trees outside cawing. This hasn’t happened before. Does anybody know a reason? Breeding season or coincidence?

There should be a Catholic karaoke bar. I’m not comfortable singing in church. However, after a few beers, I’ll definitely beat out a few lines of “On Eagle’s Wings.”
May help reach people too.

You can not convince me that folding was ever in the mind of the creator. Fitted sheets are ment to be balled up and thrown in the closet behind closed doors. They will stretch out and be covered when used, no one will see the wrinkles. Only some sort of bed wizard can fold them. I think they burned fitted sheet folders in the 1500s.

I’ve been feeding crows around my house for about a month. For the first three weeks, I would go outside at the same time each morning, crows would caw, I would put two
small handfuls of unshelled peanuts in two different places. When I went inside the crows would feed.

That changed this week. I still placed peanuts in the morning, but the crows would caw at irregular times (just once per day though) but wouldn’t come down to feed. They don’t stop cawing until I go outside and visit the food piles and pretend to place peanuts (that are already there). It looks like I’m blessing their food. Why do they do this? Fun?
