The Eighteenth Week of Extra Ordinary Time

 

Welcome to the Eighteenth Week of Extra Ordinary Time. 

Please open your Hymnal to page 3 and join in our processional  “O Lord Please Don’t Burn Us” Verse 1

O LORD, please don’t burn us,   Don’t grill or toast your flock,

Don’t put us on the barbecue,  Or simmer us in stock,

Don’t braise or bake or boil us,  Or stir fry us in a wok. 

Parishioners, as our liturgical calendar draws to a close, let us this week focus on maintaining our calm  and reasoned outlook while those about us have lost their minds! 

Please open The Holy Text volume 1 to episode 16 page 214 where the prophets say …

Milkman

Pat-a-cake, pat-a-cake baker's man. Good morning, madam, I'm a psychiatrist.

Lady

You look like a milkman to me.

Milkman

Good. (ticks form on his clipboard) I am in fact dressed as a milkman... you spotted that - well done.

Lady

Go away.

Milkman

Now then, madam. I'm going to show you three numbers, and I want you to tell me if you see any similarity between them. (holds up a card saying '3' three times)

Lady

They're all number three.

Milkman

No. Try again.

Lady

They're all number three?

Milkman

No. They're all number three. (he ticks his board again) Right. Now. I'm going to say a word, and I want you to say the first thing that comes into your head. How many pints do you want?

Open your hymnal to page 27 and join us in singing “A Plea for Toleration and Understanding”

Never be rude to an Arab
An Israeli, or Saudi, or Jew
Never be rude to an Irishman
No matter what you do

Now please open The Holy Text volume 2 to episode 24 page 9 where the prophets say …

Crackpot

This is an example of the sort of abuse we get all the time from ignorant people. I inherited this religion from my father, an ex-used-car salesman and part-time window-box, and I am very proud to be in charge of the first religion with free gifts. You get this luxury tea-trolley with every new enrollment. (pictures of this and the subsequent gifts) In addition to this you can win a three-piece lounge suite, this luxury caravan, a weekend for two with Peter Bonetti and tonights star prize, the entire Norwich City Council.

Curtains go up to reveal the council. Terrific 'ooh' from an audience. Bad organ chords played by a nude man.

Crackpot

And remember with only eight scoring draws you can win a bishopric in a see of your own choice. You see we have a much more modern approach to religion.

Cut to a person in church. They are walking past a pillar. They take out some money and put it in a collecting box. A sign on the box says 'For the rich'. We hear the money going in, then it moves off, along pipes, falling down; eventually it comes down a small pipe and lands with a tinkle in Crackpot's ashtray. He tries the money with his teeth, pops it into his pocket, and finishes reading...

Crackpot

Blessed is Arthur Crackpot and all his subsidiaries Ltd. You see, in our Church we have a lot more fun.

 

Homily Parishioners, of Late, the Party of Trump Derangement Syndrome, has been stumbling down some dark paths as they seek for things to “resist” Trump on.  The results would be hilarious if not for the millions of normal people who are stuck in the hell holes these loonies run.  As one simple example take Kalifornia.  Once they figured out that their precious 15$ minimum wage did not solve the poor’s issues as people can not make ends meet in Kalifornia on 15$ an hour, they decided to raise the minimum wage to 20$.  And the results of the new absurd minimum wage are in (https://www.nber.org/papers/w34033).  The state of Kalifornia has lost over 18,000 food service jobs in the first year of the scheme!  Let us see how long it takes for the next raise? 

Elsewhere in the state of confusion known as Kalifornia the current mayor of Los Angeles has demonstrated literally where she stands and who she stands with.  As ICE agents raided MacArthur Park in Los Angeles recently, a widely known spot for the Gang Bangers to hang out; the mayor, Karen Bass, decided to show up and block the agents raid (https://www.zerohedge.com/political/los-angeles-mayor-confronts-federal-immigration-officers-macarthur-park).  Bass literally shielded South American Gang Bangers from Ice arrest, I wonder how many actual citizens she has ever risked her hide to shield?

In General the Democan Party nation wide can not seem to decide how they want to proceed.  The East Coast types seem intent on selling the country out to China (https://www.cnbc.com/2024/09/03/hochul-new-york-aide-china-arrested-agent.html).  Regardless of the fact that China is going bankrupt in slow motion.  While the general party leaders seem intent on starting a second civil war ( https://www.axios.com/2025/07/07/democrats-trump-resistance-violence-congress).  Since the last time their ancestors tried that it did not turn out very well for them I would suggest that they keep try thinking one more time.   

Amen

Please join us in our recessional on page 3 of your hymnal “O Lord Please Don’t Burn Us” second verse. 

Oh Please don’t lightly poach us,  Or Baste us with hot fat,

Don’t fricassee or roast us,    Or boil us in a vat,

And please don’t stick thy servants, Lord,  In a Rotissomat.
