Draw a circle and make it rain and they can have what lands in the circle. I forget the whole joke, I'm sure someone here remembers.

$25 for us and $150 for a daughter. For reference, fuel was $0.19 gallon.

Most pastors, at least all the ones I've known, wear basic business suits.

Most pastors, at-least all the ones I've known, have been incredibly rational and well grounded and didn't come close to the definition of a religious fanatic.

LOL I can think of nothing worse than being married by some religious fanatic in his gay little outfit.

do you get off on being an offensive prick? why did you even make that comment? FYI to show how ignorant you are, pastors wear a suit and tie.





OP, we paid our pastor $300 and that was in 1988.

I paid 0.

I was going to pay $200, but the pastor knew that I was making almost nothing and she refused to take the money.

Son of a bitch...the justice of the peace who married me and Mrs. Boomer was thrilled when I gave him $25...his fee was $20...I included a tip.

I'm sure that if you ask, there is a normal schedule of fees for such things.

I didn't pay my pastor anything, but I paid the cathedral front office 2800 after all fees and stuff.

Sorry, Boomer. It is no longer the Victorian Age.

By "Victorian Age," do you mean the "hippie years?"

We had a couple of Hell's Angels, several hippies, and <gasp> some Dashiki-wearing, Afro-sporting NEGROS at our wedding...the in-laws almost ass-ploded...

A Catholic Priest, Methodist Preacher, and a Jewish Rabbi were sitting around discussing how they divide the take from each Sabbath.

The Priest said, "What I do is draw a line down the center of the room and then throw the money up in the air. Whatever lands on the left is God's, whatever lands on the right is mine."

The Preacher said, "Well I do almost the same thing only I draw a circle in the middle of the room. Whatever lands in the circle is mine and the rest belongs to God."

The Rabbi says, "No, you both are doing it wrong. I take the money and throw it up in the air. Then I yell, 'God, Take what you want!' Whatever comes back down is mine."
