Baz lucky you were not taken into becoming a priest...mate we were the worst class. When we would have mass once a week the whole class would put the discs of bread( hosts) to advise we were going to walk up to communion no one would walk up so the poor priest would have to eat the 45 hosts....the best was when we were dissecting a frog in science we took the intestines of the frog and would break in to kids bags and put them in their lunch. Then sit back at lunch time and watch them eat their lunch. We were bad kids but I got better and become a sales person ;D
