Come to think of it, maybe the instrument is meant for invoking the help of the Blessed Trinity (cue religion flame war).

Do yuo mean Jesus, Mary and Joseph?

Nah...that's the Holy Family. Holy Trinity is Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

Hmmm...I wonder how St. Patrick's Breastplate would sound on that thing?

"what is it about going to a catholic school that brout your grades up to an A from an F in regular school Billy? We can't understand."

(sniffling with watery eyes) "Well, the first day of school I saw that poor kid in the hall nailed to the plus sign (sniffle) and I knew they meant business!!!"

It's a much longer story than that, but I broke it down for that reason.

Sorry to anyone that might be offended. Even though I'm slightly religous I have to admit I LMAO on that one.

Yours 'aye
John

Whosez this Troyanka has to do with French ingenuity ? Ok it has a single whistler in the middle for, er, the melody, sandwiched by the drone twin sisters for company...

But it's from Sofia, Bulgary.

However, I don't have a PayPal account so I can't buy it. I hate the idea this thing will go on eBay to some Anon collector not even in our li'l community...

Another victim of 1950's Irish Catholicism here. I also dealt with a Christian Brothers (Butchers?) education. Hey, maybe that's why I'm....well...you know!

I thought you were going to say 'Peter, Paul and Mary'.

Our Lady of the Fipple, no less. Roger tries to start a religion flame war and it degenerates into a Marist Brothers College Old Boys reunion. Bah!

Wombat · Post by **Wombat** » Tue Feb 11, 2003 10:18 pm

Just to set the record straight, I didn't have the company of either the Marist Brothers or the (un)Christian Brothers in my formative years. But several of my cousins did and that was a close enough shave for me. Phewwww.

Daniel, Paul was a personal friend of my father. Or was it Peter? Kinda hard to tell. All I know is that it wasn't Mary, I'd have noticed that. So would my mother, I suspect.

You're onto something, Zoobaroo: the doctrine of PayPal infallibility. Cue eBay flame war.
