Beautiful.  Reminds me of an old joke:

Q:  How many Orthodox does it take to change a light bulb?

A:  Change?  What is this "change"?

Good one!

You know the location of every Long John Silvers for miles around.

Your children bless themselves after the "Pledge of Allegience"

One of my sisters has always been a little absent minded.  She has been known to genuflect before stepping from the aisle into her seat at the cinema, and to bless herself at the end of a performance instead of clapping.

It's a mistake to talk to her while she is doing something.  If I am beside her when she is driving I refuse to have a conversation with her ...... or just keep my eyes closed!
