    A major shareholder in a chain of hair salons perhaps?

    I heard a story about a guy who was driving along with his girlfriend performing a certain act on him in the car. As they passed the local graveyard she lifted her head and blessed herself before resuming business.

    Christ! she must have eyes in the back of her head. I wonder if she has a mouth in the back of her head also?;)

    Who was holding the steering wheel at the time?


    No expert on these matters, but from what I've seen it involves some amount of waving your hands around in front of you?

    I'm fairly sure she only needed one hand to bless herself :D
    The other hand was on the wheel.

    Did your car seating arrangements imply something, though ?

    The two who blessed themselves were in the right ?

    I see what you did there... >_>

    If people should be allowed to do their little rituals then the OP should be allowed to think they look funny doing it. And it would be a pretty dark world if no-one was allowed to question this kind of thing.



    It's exactly the kind of thing I can imagine talking about at a lock-in with my mates.

    religion is a frowned upon pub subejct in many a sane society. I can no greater pub bore than "haha I saw someone making the sign of the cross" but your mileage may very, depends on the rest of the conversation I suppose.

    I am by no means a religious person , i dont go to mass infact i despise the catholic church . However i do belive in god.. i think !! But i do bless myself when i seen a ambulance etc as i way if i dunno askin god to help the poor creatur in the back ! And if i was ever in an ambuane id like to think the people in the cars im passing would think of me in the same way . One thing i thank god for is my health because without it well theres no point to anything.

    Religion and politics, two things you never discuss in a pub. I thought everyone knew that :rolleyes:

    I do bless myself everyday, but then not every one is blessed.

    I bless myself all the time if I meet a hearse on the road, slow down the car and radio off too. Doesnt matter what you believe in, we'll all end up that way some day and its a sign of common respect.

    Like someone else said if I was being rushed to hospital on the verge of dying, id take every prayer i could get.

    To the OP...are you really that stupid?
    Off topic : These religious threads are getting very tedious on AH. Next time post them in the Atheist/Agnostic or Christian forum, I'm sick of seeing basically the same religion thread on AH every single day

    not a pope supporter, but glad to see the fury produce some small results at vatican city

    Pope Benidict was knee deep in the cover up of child sex abuse. He has very little credibility in this area.
