Wacky Wednesday!

Driving into work today, I see a sign. The sign is an electronic one in front of a Methodist Church. It is advertising what I can only assume is a church function. The sign read, and I quote, "Wacky Wednesday, 5:30 - 6:30".

What is Wacky Wednesday? The Methodists are going crazy, fathers... hide your daughters... I foresee a Welch's Grape Juice Kegger on the horizon.

"What is Wacky Wednesday?" I would ask to a church member.
"OH! Well, you know those arrows that Steve Martin used to wear on his head? That made it appear as an arrow was going through your head? Well, we take those and put them on all the statues in the church!... It's WACKY!"

I can see Wacky Wednesday in my church (The Catholic Church). "Yeah, when you come out of confession, the priest doesn't give you penance, he makes you spin the 'Wheel of Reconciliation!' Round and Round she goes and what's your punishment, nobody knows! OH! You've landed on Father's Choice"

What if the apostles came up with this. They would run up to Jesus and go, "Jesus! Jesus! We got this GREAT idea to make people turn out even more to your teachings." And Jesus would raise his head and go "What is your idea?". And the apostles would go "Wacky Wednesday!"

Then Jesus with a bemused look on his face would say in his soft voice. "Okay.... explain...". And the apostles would answer "Well you see it would be like every other day, you know, teaching, miracling, you know cure lepers, etc. etc. But on WEDNESDAYS we... we.. wear red clown noses and big rainbow colored fake Afros and carry horns!"

Then nodding slowly keeping that slightly bemused expression on his face, Jesus would say "And why the horns?" And the apostles would say "So at random times during your sermons, you could honk it. You know, "Blessed are the peacemakers *HONK* *HONK*" "Why?" "'Cause it's WACKY WEDNESDAY! Blessed are those who mourn And then you blow the slide whistle!"

I don't think we need a Wacky Wednesday. Now I DO think that most Muslims do. Islam needs a Wacky Wednesday. Every Wednesday during the five times a day prayer, you face the exact opposite direction of Mecca. And when someone says, "Excuse me, you are facing the wrong way." You reply, "no I'm not, I'm just taking the scenic route."
