"Man accused of stealing communion wafers"

Ok, this story made me smile, although I do not condone stealing communion, especially if you have to wrestle an 82 year old person for it. :)

Okay, I had no idea you could actually go to jail for this. But I would never, ever try to tackle an 82 year old for them. Also, I would never try to take them directly from the priest. As Marge Simpsons says, they have powers (can you tell I have been watching entirely too much of that show lately?).

The trick is, see, you have to get them from the back of the church when no one is looking. I hope God does not send a lighting bolt my way today!

Seriously, you have made my day today. I am laughing my ass off.

I feel like buying a container from the outlet here for this guy, so he won't have to fight off the priest and other parishioners anymore!

This story seriously made me laugh too, and think of you and your sisters. Not that you would EVER do that!

I still laugh, though, at the idea of rushing the priest. Gimme your communion or else! Although at that point, transubstantiation would have occurred, so he would have literally been stealing Jesus (or Jebus if you're Michael), at least according to the Catholics.

I am still laughing at the picture in my head!

I just told J.D. about this story, about the guy rushing the priest, taking a handful of communion, and being tackled by an 82 and 61 year old. J.D. asked, "How old was this guy?" I said "33." Then J.D. said, "What a jackass."
