I of course will not be participating in this thread since I think that coming up for alternate uses for people is really wrong.......

A quick straw poll, here at the Feliks Dzerzinsky Workers Collective suggested manual labourer in the Siberian uranium mines. Although Mehmet, from Islamic Jihad, next door - nice lad, popped in to borrow a cup of sugar - suggested that all you need to do is tax them an extra 10% and ban them from ringing church bells and they'll be retraining as Imams before you can say 'Fall of Constantinople'. [Devil]

Personally, I think they add greatly to the gaiety of the nation as they are, thank you very much.

I've heard that fully vested, they can be hung from the ceiling and used as a disco glitter-ball.

But if you're standing directly underneath, don't look up!

Ours is used for convert trawling. Check that, I mean public relations.

Ours was used for a church janitor, gardener and general plumber/handyman until he got a transfer to another parish. [Waterworks]

So when did you start writing haiku?

Posted by babybear (# 34) on :

Haikus are 5,7 and then 5. Not 4,7,4. [Big Grin]

I was reading this thread to Gremlin and he suggest that you can dip an O Priest in liquid nitrogen and then use as a loo brush.

Are we going to have a chance to test out any of these ideas? Any stray O Priests around? [Big Grin]

Posted by Leetle Masha (# 8209) on :

If O priests stray, they are usually laicized, so you'd have to catch them very quickly or they might not make as satisfactory a loo brush. The beards tend to come off.

Wouldn't it have to be a larger than normal loo to fit a priest down it?

Use him as a Xmas Tree, provided he is stuffed of course and upright.

That's one way of doing it. A contrasting way is to count beats instead of syllables, using a pattern of 2,3,2.

Then again I also disagree with Rook.

Posted by Adeodatus (# 4992) on :

I'd just like to say I was going to start a complementary thread on alternative uses for an Anglican bishop. Then I remembered that most of them are completely, utterly useless....

.... except for their invaluable role of being the subjects of threads in Hell and Dead Horses. [Two face]

Posted by Leetle Masha (# 8209) on :

Never mind, Adeodatus, you can play this game just as well as anyone. Don't you know a lot of Anglican priests who have been used as loo brushes? I could name (but I wouldn't dare), quite a few! I also know some who have been used as Christmas trees.

The most interesting use for Episcopalian priests in the U.S. is as dancing partners for debutantes at charity balls.

Er...why are we attempting to recycle an Orthodox priest?

As opposed to Angli, RC, and many flavors of ministers?

Be sure to comb it out first, however, so that it doesn't shed; beardie bits between the teeth are Not Aesthetic.
