Another Janice story; this one from the no comment department…
Place: The Chapel at Fox Chapel.
Present: Janice, our DCE; Ray, our Property Committee Chairman; our Head of Staff; and myself.
Occasion: Janice was supervising the placement of the Presbyterian Creed Banners which had been made by church members and now were to be suspended all around the room, representing The Apostles’ Creed and so forth. Janice wanted to make sure everything would be as it should be. It is helpful to remember that Janice was at that time a maiden lady of a certain age who had spent her life in children’s education both in the public schools and in various churches. And that she looks very much like H.M. the Queen. Janice is hard-working, wise and kind; and it would not be incorrect to add the words prim and proper, too.
Here is how the conversation went:
Janice (having absolutely no idea of how what she said could be taken) to Ray: “Do you hang well?”
Ray (with a knowing look in his eye) to Janice: “Haven’t had any complaints so far…”
If I told you that yours truly exited the Chapel as quickly as possible, immediately thereafter, hand over mouth, biting my tongue to keep from laughing, well, you perhaps would not be surprised.
