It never ceases to surprise me that people will say the most remarkable things to a stranger in the street if that stranger happens to be wearing a dog collar. Today:
Stranger (male aged about 40)
My God, you're a priest!
Me
Are you surprised?
Stranger
No, I'm delighted.
(He walks on)
Hurrah!
ReplyDeleteI think I shall take to wearing a clerical collar occasionally and wait for the reactions.
('Goodness me! You're a gnome - And you're ordained...!')
begs the question though, what on earth were you doing that evoked that reaction :-)
ReplyDeleteI was walking across the road heading determinedly into the local bookshop. I was wearing grey trousers and a dark jacket and black clerical shirt over which I had a rather fashionable spring coat by Reiss. I'd like to think the passer by was amazed someone so cool could be a priest.
ReplyDeleteDamn. I'd sort of hoped you'd been engaging in a little recreational breaking and entering or something
