When you’re looking for one-liners, they pop up everywhere. The other evening at Southern Indiana Writers, we got to talking about religion. One of the members told about a highly emotional service with a sort of folk band, I guess. I don’t know the denomination, but I don’t think it was Episcopalian.
ANYWAY, this week’s one-liner was part of the report on that meeting:
She was taken by the spirit and hit a parishioner over the head with her banjo.
You can’t make that shit up.
This has been part of Linda G. Hill’s One-Liner Wednesday link-up. Visit Linda’s delightful site and check the comments for links to more one-liners.
A WRITING PROMPT BASED ON MY POST: Describe that church service.

April 11, 2018 at 11:43amI don’t think it was Episcopalian either. We have occasionally had banjos in my Episcopal church, but the spirit is quieter and unlikely to hit. Tapping our feet is easy. Clapping and dancing are possibilities when the spirit really gets going.
