What am I supposed to do with this? Should I just smile and thank the people? Wonder if this thing will bite?

Wonder if they were out of bread and salt?

Better keep my eyes on this thing and not make any sudden moves!

"They think this counts toward the parish assessment?"

My reaction, exactly. And he'll have enough left to make me a pair, too!

And, yes, as a matter of fact, I *do* wear my rattleskin boots in court most day.

Leading to the caption, "what, you think the markings on my current boots are too much at the altar?"

"how come the Franciscans get asked to bless puppies and kittens, but when its *my* turn, . . ."

"Uhm, did someone forget to pay the Taxidermist?"

"if I pronounce it appropriate for Lent, maybe it wont't eat me first!"

Alexandr,

So, what's the story behind the photo? Inquiring minds want to know - or, at the very least, I do.

Many years,

Neil
