Some things no one needs to see

So I'm walking across a hot parking lot today to get from one business building to another building on another side of the street.

It's currenlty 88 degrees at the moment, even though the weather software on my P.C. says it FEELS like it's only 87 degrees. Well, what I saw earlier was just about at high noon when it was probably about 5 to 10 degrees hotter.

I noticed this guy going into the building was dressed completely in black, full length pants, long sleeve jacket. I'm thinking this guy has got to be burning up.

When I saw the guy leaving he was getting into his very nice Mercedes been convertible. Remind you VERY nice Mercedes been convertible. As the man got into his car I noticed underneath the black jacket and vest was the little strip of white on the collar. Yes, he was a preist.

Well, at least he has faith that God won't strike him down with a heatstroke. However, I also didn't know it was commonplace for priest these days to cruise around the streets in Mercedes Benz convertibles. (One again a VERY nice Mercedes Benz convertible) Maybe I'm just out of touch but I thought there was something about worldly possessions and being vain that members of the clergy were supposed to follow.

While apparently the Catholic Church is having financial difficulties their priest seem to be taken care of very well these days. Even though I thought a Mercedes Benz Convertible (A VERY nice Mercedes Benz Convertible) would usually be driven by a middle age man going through a mid life crises. I can see in the mind of the middle age balding man that he would think it's a chick magnet. Even though that's one of those things I never understood was equating your penis size to your automobile. Good thing too since I drive a Hyundai Elantra. My wife and daughter have bigger cars than I do. While I can't vouch for my daughter I know for certain my wife doesn't have a bigger penis than mine.

So I'm trying to figure out why a Catholic priest would be driving a car that is a chick magnet. It's not like Catholic priest have been known for their womanizing ways. If anything I could understand it more if they guy would have been driving an Ice Cream Truck or a Big Wheel.
