time out

A country you ought to visit is Comatose.
As one who has been there for long my advice for you would be to steer clear of religion. Especially if you are sensitive as to the matter of faith and spiritual life.
If a tourist asks the locals, 'Quo Vadis? the reply would be, 'Pop goes the We sell." It is an inside joke. The Comatose mean their spiritual leader Pop Casey who is ever on tour selling their religion. " We sell" is a spiritual term meaning wherever Pop went selling he caused so much uproar without meaning to. God was made more a joke of by his 'pontifications.'
Pop Casey said once he was infallible and soon after came some scientists claiming his view of the sun being a planet was wrong. He had to recant in the end that he was not infallible as he thought to be. While his College of Cardinals wrote 278 hefty volumes to interpret the case for His Holiness Casey. One cardinal stated that he meant infallible only in areas where he could err on the safe side. The sun was not something he had meant to upset. So he apologized, "Brother Sun, My mistake." He did it so Comatose may enjoy their summer under the balmy sun as before.
Thereafter he went to the Middle Kingdom where the folks went about as if they were made of glass. So brittle they were. If anyone talked loud they cried murder. If some foreigner laughed over some jokes they hauled him to their Judge for laughing without their permission. Pop Casey once sat down to a state dinner while visiting them and said ' I think of Middle Kingdom whenever I need to break wind'. He meant his digestive system of course. ( Among Comatose they call their legs as lower Kingdom.)
How furious the people of the Middle Kingdom were! Before he left for Comatose they barred his motorcade. He apologized as befitting his status by lifting his skull cap. They were not satisfied. So they wanted him to apologize by bending from the waist. He did so in order to please them. " Hey Pop is like rubber ball!" One fellow observed. So they asked him to kiss the ground and ask their pardon. Pop Casey thought it was a scream. Still being a religious leader he did one full stretch. Then the fellows said," Hey Pop is a regular prayer mat! They would have springcleaned him then and there if the Presidential guards hadn't come and whisked him to safety.
