I assure you that this episode DID happen. It was at Saint Francis of Assisi Parish in West Nyack, NY. The pastor was Msgr. Charles Rader (may his memory be eternal!). BTW: I have never seen so much as a single episode of "The Simpsons". This story is the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth!
monk Silouan Okay, monk Silouan, I bow to your veracity!
But trust me, this is a story with a long and venerable history - here's a version I just found on the Net:
"RELIEF FOR MCMAHON, SKINS VICTORY FOR
JORDAN."
(From the Chicago Tribune Sports pages, June 28, 1989)
"A respectful hush fell over the gallery on the ninth green at Butler National.
"It was quiet enough to hear a golf ball drop in the cup when, just as participants in the Pro Celebrity Skins Game were getting ready to putt, Jim McMahon [Chicago Bears quarterback] became the day's most unusual hazard.
"McMahon had left partner Scott Verplank to go visit the washroom, but the quarterback, wired like the other players, accidentally left his
microphone on during the entire pit stop.
"`We all got to know Jim a little better,' said comedian Tom Dreesen.
"Whereas McMahon broke the sound barrier, Michael Jordon definitely stole the show in the Beatrice Western Open event...[rest of article not very amusing]"
Hmm .. maybe this is just one of those "guy" things - I haven't heard of any
women who've had this problem!
