Overheard at World Youth Day:

“These chairs are for pilgrims who want to go to confession, and therefore I have a choice between their souls and your asses. SO THE CHAIRS GO BACK!”

- My friend Tom (a Catholic priest), to a bunch of Parisians who wanted to sit on chairs rather than on the floor (like 19 980 other pilgrims), and so were stealing chairs from confessionals.
