15. I like that answer

Was there much trouble setting up the pay-out arrangements? Do they just debit your bank account or is it only cash left under a rock in the park?

11. heh heh

what a trip that site is....!

Meals : Numeraries generally practice one small corporal mortification at every meal, such as drinking coffee without milk or sugar, not buttering one's toast, skipping dessert, not taking seconds, etc
that's quite a definition of "corporal mortification"! What comes after the black coffee and dry toast..the comfy chair?

8. I toss a penny into the wishing well every three months...

..which is all my penance is worth. In any case, that's all they're going to get from me, baby.

17. I have given up on the side that requires penance.

I am now playing for the opposition. The pay is better and the fringe benefits are SUPER! The only thing is Bush and Cheney are on the team. Well you can’t have everything.

Hold on, have a call, “Yes Master, it’s not hot enough? More coal coming up.”

18. Three Our Fathers, Three Hail Marys.

That was standard penance in our church. Fight with your sister? Three O.F., three H.M. Lord's name in vain? Three O.F., three H.M. Cold blooded murder? Three O.F, three H.M.

It really was an all-purpose penance! ;)
