Boo Khaki Posted December 31, 2022 Share Posted December 31, 2022 I was going to make some ill defined quip about popes, chimneys, smoke, and so on, but that would probably be in egregious bad taste given Ratzinger's youth. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose that's an effective way of making sure they really are deid. Here, just give him a wee dunt with this hammer. No, a bit harder than that. Bit harder. There you go, that's it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was a bit of a practical joker, they had to be sure. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then he gets his ring defaced? They would have to club me to death with a baseball bat rather than a wee hammer if my ring was defaced! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to work in a profession in which death was a regular occurrence. I have never once had to hit someone with a hammer to check if they're dead. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curmudgeon Posted January 1, 2023 Share Posted January 1, 2023 I'd be very disappointed if the Vatican wasn't colloquially known as Frankie and Benny's when both Popes were alive. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
