Quote of the Day


Any sufficiently advanced incompetence is indistinguishable from malice. ~ Grey’s Law

Remember when your mother said, "if it doesn't have your name on it, leave it alone"?

We have a fellow at our church who is a World Class Neatnik. If there was an Olympic event, he would win all three medals. Unfortunately, anything he doesn't recognize is, by definition, trash. He is "only trying to help", but he has thrown out Sunday school lessons, the rector's sermon notes, papers belonging to an AA group that meets in our hall, and in one particularly painful case, a complete set of hand embroidered altar linens, which he thought were rags. He offered to pay for them, but he is on Social Security and nobody had the nerve to tell him he'd just set us back about $500.

It isn't malicious, but it is absolutely maddening!
