One time, bro, I was warned by the Kirk to come to the Sabbath meeting stone cold sober and to gird myself for a baptism of fire. I thought to myself, dear God! Why? So as innocently as I could muster, seeing as I was in such short commodity of innocence, I asked, "Why Moderator?"
He told me that Black Rod was preaching and there wasn't to be any miscreant affectations to be garnered to the shame of the church.
So that Sabbath I sat rather nervously as Black Rod strode into the pulpit - almost as if he were the very hand of God. No more stern a Calvinist have I ever seen than Black Rod.
Just as he was opening his scroll to begin his lecture - I cried out - "you are an atheist."
He flashed a fearsome look of unfathomable rudeness around the church and cried out in a roar, Who spoke that blasphemy?"
And the entire congregation pointed to me and with a single voice cried out, "he did, the one in the steel hat."
Thats the thing about rudeness, bro, its best drank in flagons. Amen
