Happy "Pretend Not To Be Creeped Out By Black Marks On Foreheads At Work" day!

It's my 17th favorite time of the year. The "Hey, you have something on your forehead" joke never gets old either.

Why would a person be creeped out by dirt on someone's forehead?

In three years, I've never seen anybody come into work with crap on their forehead on Ash Wednesday.

Really? I've counted about 20 so far in my office alone.

I fire any employee who doesn't come to work well groomed. Dirt on your face? Find another job.

You know I have zero use for religion, especially Catholicism, but why should I care if people have ashes on their forehead one day a week? You need to find less absurd thing to get upset about.

 

[bigrash]

So are people allowed to wash their forehead before they come into work or what? (serious question)

Heh, I've lived & worked on the Mexican border and I've never seen ash on people's foreheads on ash wednesdays

There's nothing more pathetic than a whiny Christian who thinks they're being oppressed because people make jokes at their expense.

I have never heard of it never mind seen anyone do it.

The difference is we Catholics can laugh at ourselves.

 

[Jaepheth]

Will you also get creeped out if people come to work with tape over their mouths?

 

[SP33Demon]

I saw one on the subway the other day, was wondering what that was.

From what I recall it's common practice to not wash them off until the evening but there's no hard and fast rule.

 

[SheHateMe]

I remember Ash Wednesday from Catholic school. So much fun having to line up during morning mass so the Priest could rub ashes on your forehead.

 

[randomrogue]

I've never seen this in my life. This is the first time I've even heard about it.

 

[drebo]

It's not shit!

There are no hard and fast rules for anything with catholicism...but that doesn't stop them from threatening your eternity. Brings to mind the eating meat on Friday back in the '60's. Don't make it to confession before you die? That's right...mortal sin. Then they changed it. Poor souls before the change are still doing eternity on a meat rap.


...or are they?


ps. altar boys are in hell from the 1st time they...

 

[Mixolydian]

I've never seen this either.

Actually, I'd be kind of turned on.
