2. I felt the same way in the south
|
There I was, a Yankee from an Irish Catholic family turned atheist in a sea of Southern Baptists. It's a good thing they didn't know about my dubious ancestry, they'd have had a couple of other directions to run away.
It didn't help that I was gawky, wore jar bottom glasses, and was a math shark. |

6. Excellent place to lose it. Catholic school did it for me.
|
I'm convinced Catholic schools were an institution dedicated to the production of atheists. Most I know in real life survived Catholic school.

11. The best part of Catholic school
|
Was that it was a sort of spiritual immunization against falling for fundamentalism. I know of not one of my classmates that became "born again". And so, that is a pretty amazing feat, really.

8. Wanda! So many times
|
her little remarks as a "throwaway" hit so close to the mark - there are so many movies that wouldn't be the same if Wanda wasn't there!

12. "I think you dislocated my vagina."
|
I have to wonder if Wanda Sykes ad libbed that line in "Monster In Law" to try and make Jane Fonda break up laughing.
