Reply #10: Congradulations, I haven't been to a church in let me see...

[Jose Diablo]

It's been better than 5 years now, it was my mother-in-laws funeral. Even though a mother-in-law, she was OK in my book.

Now before that, it was another 7 years to my dads funeral. I've even managed to avoid all the infant baptisms, too.

It takes a shrewed mind to avoid getting coralled into going to church, believe you me. I've perfected the technique over the years so my wife doesn't expect it now, but there is no way I could have avoided her mothers funeral. That was one I couldn't get out of, just like my dads.

Edit to add: My dad though, he was the pro when it came to not going to church. In his 74 years, I think he went to church twice, once to be baptised and once to be buried. That's got to be a record someplace.
