Quote of the day

"My advice, as a Christian priest, is to shoplift."

Father Tim Jones directs his parishoners to go forth and help themselves to a five-finger discount.

Must admit I missed the qualifying statement in the Bible after "Thou shalt not steal" that said "... unless you're really on your uppers and it's from 'national businesses'".
