[Insert inappropriate innuendo here]

Churches often put cute, pithy things on their signs like, "We have a prophet sharing plan" and "A lot of kneeling will keep you in good standing." Well, one church in Brampton, ON took this to the next level:

Of course, a quick Googling of this will show that it has been done before so no marks for originality, Heart Lake United Church, but 8 out of 10 for nerve. Of course, uptight parents complained since it exposes their human children to something... um... human, and the church was forced to change the sign. Now, I find it in poor taste, but I am routinely amazed by parents who get worked up about this sort of thing. "What do I tell my child when they ask about it?" Well, tell them it is just a joke (no, you don't have to explain it). If they comment that it isn't funny, agree with them (since it isn't particularly funny).

Full story.

Two Donuts, One Car

For your amusement, an item from today's Toronto Star:

Man steals donuts, car

A craving for a sweet treat and a joyride appears to be the motive behind a vehicle theft at a north-end donut shop earlier this morning.

Police responded to a call for a stolen vehicle just after 5 a.m. this morning at a Coffee Time at Credistone Rd. and Hwy. 7.

Police said witnesses reported the man reached over the counter, grabbed two donuts and fled the shop, driving off in a vehicle left idling outside.

Police did not identify the make and model of the car, nor the flavour and freshness of the stolen donuts (emphasis mine).

God, I love Canadian police sometimes.

No matter how humble...

...there's no place like home.

Yes, friends, I am home at long last, after spending just a scant 36 hours in my apartment over the past month. England, Kansas... I definitely need some downtime. I'm glad I have no trips scheduled until May.
