ministers and sobbing

Today I learned that on a recent national test for Presbyterian ministers, a number of them cheated, by using differences in time zones to find out the questions in advance. No kidding. Some of the New Jersey ministers phoned the Californians early in the morning and told them the answers in advance. Is nothing sacred?

It does seem remarkably prevalent, this cheating thing.

And what's on a minister exam, anyway? Scripture? Wedding organizational challenges?

Aunt Edna hates her ex but has requested an opportunity to speak at the rehearsal dinner. She's had a few drinks and is known for her vitriolic diatribes against her ex. Do you:

A) Allow her to speak.
B) Allow her to speak but feign an earthquake
C) take her aside and speak in tongues until she fears you
D) stuff her in the walk-in refrigerator

I'd ask the minister at our hospital, but I think she's from California...
