Or maybe not so lucky, you only have one thing to eat for mortification! ;D
Maybe if you overdo the spice? Or maybe.. the anchovies? Title: Re: Quote for the Day: How to Please God? Post by: martin on May 30, 2010, 02:46:17 PM A fortunate fellow!

At the thought of anchovies a hair shirt is beginning to look appealing :+: Title: Re: Quote for the Day: How to Please God?
