Laughing at the Banana Peel

Will Idle Words Weaken My Faith?

I am fresh still off a weekend so it is jus as good a time as any to take a break reflecting on when I at first wondered what Holy Mackerel was about.

When Fish on Friday day was big this occurred to me. But even so it was obvious as What the Heck. I never thought of it amid Ash Wednesday and the rest of it, which was extensive. 

It is still a bit shocking to me what it was a euphemism for. One hears this rarely today but it was more common at one time.

I am full circle now and I correct myself on all of it because I feel such reflexes could be a hinderance to my faith I am trying to build since I take Jesus more seriously now. 

As a student of words and lover of language, by the way just a technicality but, Christ is not Jesus' last name. Such things in my view, very well may be rooted in a final oh ye of little faith judgment. Humor seems to be less serious to the young than the older.

Some day I would like to get into the role of comedy since it seems to be essentially nonsense.
