Church Etiquette 101

If it takes more than 60 seconds to unwrap that old cough drop/peppermint candy in the loud crinkly plastic wrapper that's been at the bottom of your large purse for the past 2 years, just give up. Someone sitting next to you might have a quieter alternative.

I am dying of laughter over here.

I've wondered for years why those things are wrapped in crinkly cellophane.

There is one in EVERY church. Why can't they be wrapped in that waxy paper like cough drops??

You realize that us old coots can't hear that noise don't you? Actually, this is one of my pet peaves. Another is people who whisper in church so loud you can hear them two rows away.

This is too funny. And I love Phil's response.

Sorry Phil, I'll try to keep it down. :)
