I had a bunch of neighborhood friends who went to the local Catholoc Schools. Kept telling how evil the Nuns were, but all the Nuns I ran into were nice, but maybe they were trying to get me to go to their Church.

Keep in my, while I was born in 1985 my dad was born in 1938.
My dad once went to some sort of music practice one day at his Catholic school. Now ALL of the Nuns either knew his mother, went to school with his mother, or taught his mother. So they all knew each other. Plus, the Nun teaching him was a very dear friend of his mothers.
He comes home with a note PINNED to his shirt saying.
"Dear (name with-held),
This boy has no musical talent what-so-ever. Do not send him to (piano?) practice ever again!
Signed,
Sister Whatever"
Another time he was told if he anything else to do during Easter services, he didn’t have to show up to be in the choir.

my fisrt two years of elementary school were in catholic school… I remember (not being catholic) telling the nuns that what they was teaching me was wrong and that my bishop wasn’t going to like it either. that usually earned me a smack on the wrists…
Swissdictator:
My dad was in college when “Purple People Eaters” came out. So he and his buddies started wondering "What exactly does a one eyed one horned flying purple people eater look like anyways"
Do they all drew up various incarnations of a one eyed one horned flying purple people eater. They then went into the maint building and taped these pictures over all the framed pictures of the various esteemed bishops and cardinals.
Needless to say the various Fathers at the college were not pleased and ended up calling my dad in to the office.
BilboBaggins:
You are supposed to put different heads on the pictures and see if they get noticed.
