There were no children at my church service today

[struggle4progress]

After the readings, we always have a children's sermon, a hymn, then the adult sermon and the rest of the liturgy

The pastor looked around and decided we should just continue with the hymn

We'd gotten about halfway through the second verse, when ten little elementary-school-aged girls traipsed in and sat in the second row

I've never ever seen half of them before

The quality of the hymn-singing deteriorated because the congregation was laughing so hard

2. I read today that young blood physically revitalizes the aged

Coincidence?

3. Like a transfusion?

Are there aged people out there transfusing themselves with the blood of children?

That's really creepy.

4. As someone pointed out, this should make Viagra look like a niche market

And the black market will be intense, practically *everyone* will want it.

Indeed, the whole idea rings some very creepy and atavistic bells.

6. Do you have a link for this? I am fascinated.

7. There was a recent report about transfusing blood in mice

To the best of my knowledge, this report has not yet led to a rash of churches bleeding young attendees in order to transfuse elderly parishioners

8. "To the best of my knowledge"

I don't think they would put that in the bulletin

11. In my church, it would be announced after services:

Remember, the Women's Knitting Circle and Terrorist Society meets at 7 Tuesday night!

- or -

Don't forget our Pillaging and Looting class next Saturday!

- or -

I'm pleased to tell you Dr Moxibustion will be at our Health Fair to teach you everything you need to know about how to use leeches properly!

10. Lol! Ok, that's a relief.

5. I don't get it.
