Seminarians have an odd sense of humor. Try on the following for size:
Anthony, in the previous post, commented that the seminary would be receiving a new (huge, I might add) statue of St. Joseph. As you may know, one of the odd traditions of Catholics is to bury a statue of St. Joseph in the ground if you wish to sell a piece of property.
We were commenting on the new statue before class began this morning when one of my peers queried, "How long do you think it would take to sell the seminary if we buried the new statue of St. Joesph in the lawn. Do you suppose that we would be able to skip finals?"
Suffice it to say, I've hired a backhoe.

It is always great to have a priest with a good sense of humor. I'm sure you all will do great - as long as the seminary is NOT sold and finals go on as planned - it is also great to have a priest that has understands what they are talking about. I also have a question. I was told that when you bury the statue you are suppose to bury it upside down, but never heard an explanation on why. Do you know if that is true, and if so, why?
You are supposed to bury him upside down. I have no idea why.
I had never heard of this before.
Upside down? How barbaric! :)
