The sewer backed up into the church basement
because of the flood. My office smells like sewage. And the local grocery store has run out of bleach.

How's your day going?

2. Indeed, A sign that we had too much rain last week.
And that this sort of thing is going to happen when you build a church a block from a river with a history of flooding. :)

Built on a flood plain no doubt.

How are things going otherwise for you there. Any better?

7. Actually, just above the flood plain.
The water didn't come directly from the river, but up through the drains...because they couldn't drain into the river, apparently.

Otherwise, things seem to have calmed down. Some people are still hurt and/or angry, but they mostly just huddle together at coffee hour, giving off bad vibes. I can live with that.

4. Sounds like you need a joke:
A guy gets sent to hell and is greeted by Satan and told he gets to pick which room he's in for all eternity. He has three rooms to choose from, he can see very room before choosing, but once a room is chosen there is no changing his mind.


Room one is bunch of people standing in sewage up to the knees, drinking cups of coffee.

Room two is a bunch of people standing chin deep in sewage begging each other not to make waves.

Room three is a room full of people swimming in sewage--essentially treading water.


The guy figures he isn't gonna like any of his choices too much, but says he wants door number one. Satan reminds hm that he can't change his mind--is he CERTAIN this is how he wants to spend eternity...

"Yep, I figure that at least in this room the shit is only up to knee level," the guy says, "Besides, I like coffee--so this will be my choice."



He enters the room and hears a voice come over the loudspeaker, "OK, Back on your heads everybody, coffee break is over."





Lisa, I am sorry you are not having much fun. Feel free to clean that joke up and use it as you see fit!

:hug:
