BoardinBob has just reminded me of something that happened a little more recently than 25 years ago.
Friend of mine (shared house) was gushing about these two “brothers” from the church of latter day saints that had completely enlightened him, so much so that he was thinking about getting baptised.
We all laughed, he then bet us each £10 that we couldn’t sit through 5 “teachings” and not be as profoundly changed as he was.
I accepted, made it through the 5 teachings, nice religion as religions go, not interested ta, collected £10.
Anyway, the day comes when Mark is due to be baptised and gets picked up by some elder from the church, we wave him off, friend of mine, with a evil glint in his eyes leans over and whispers to me “just spiked him with some acid”.
About two hours later Mark is brought back and helped, giggling hysterically up to the house by a very pissed off looking elder, apparently he’s gone fruityloops right in the middle of the service and they had to abandon it.
Funny thing was, Mark thanked us and said it was the funniest day of his life!
