Years ago when in France I was the best man at the wedding of my friend Yves Dominique Lefevre. On the day of his wedding he was very nervous; so to calm him down, before the ceremony in church, I took him to his favourite fast-food outlet for a quick snack.
He had frogs' legs, so he hopped all the way down the aisle to the front by the altar. He went at a snail's pace, but we got there at the end.
During the ceremony the priest asked him to say his vows.
He said "Y A E I O U ..."
"Why Y?" I asked him.
He replied "Why Y? Be cos eet eez a vow in la belle France. Zee vows ere are Y A E I O U ... n'est ce pas?"
The priest was exasperated. Which is an unusual name to have, even in France.
Can you imagine going through life as Father Exasperated, instead of being serene and humble.
Serene and Humble ... nice title for a TV Detective Series, don't you think?
Anyway, did you know in France they have extra bowels? Extra vowels too, it seems!
I sure wish sometimes that I could spend one day in your imaginative head, Victor. How do you come up with these funnies? God bless!
ReplyDeleteTo be honest, Martha; it seems my mind is never at rest. I'm always thinking of something and sometimes I miss out on conversations or whilst watching TV.
DeleteSome thoughts that come to mind are a little humourous, like the one above; and sometimes it is about a deep religious thought. I often have to stop and scribble notes to be written out more fully afterwards.
Thank you Martha; God bless you.
Regarding your response to Martha (above), I, too, often scribble notes to myself regarding ideas for future blog posts. I like a quote spoken by actor Sean Connery from the movie, Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, "I wrote it down so I wouldn't have to remember!"
ReplyDeleteGood quote from Sean Connery - I wish I thought of it first.
DeleteGod bless you, Barbara.
You do have an unusual sense of human I mean humor!
ReplyDeleteHumanly humour I hope !!!
DeleteGod bless you Sandie my friend.
LOL, never knew that eating frog legs will lead to hopping around. :)
ReplyDeleteWe are what we eat, Bill. Yves was French and he liked Roquefort cheese with French bread and wine.
DeleteGod bless you.
As ever, I appreciate how your stories make me giggle!
ReplyDeleteGiggles and laughter keep us young, Mevely. I am 25 years old.
DeleteGod bless you.
A good sense of humor cures many a headache.
ReplyDeleteBlessings
Yes, this is certainly true, Irish Cherokee. God bless always.
Deleteadmitting once again that it took me a minute or two to understand the vows. Victor, you sure have a way of keeping me on my toes. Blessings to you and may your humor continue each day..
ReplyDeleteMany thanx Shug. We all have marriage vows. In my marriage mine were B C D F G H J K .... and my wife told me to think again!

Serene and Humble, could indeed make a nice title for a TV Detective Series.
