cleric's cue

here's another fr. nudas story:

one of us was tasked to read another article of his in front of the class regarding his preference for rizal over bonifacio.

(the prof was a known pacifist and he called bonifacio stupid for waging a losing war. several left-leaning writers wrote angry letters in response, but i digress.)

anyway, my classmate charleston went up front to get the article. he stood up in a relaxed position, with his right hand holding the article & his left hand in his left pant pocket. as he was reading the piece, fr. nudas snickered, "charleston, stop holding it!"

charleston's hand immediately shot out of his left pant pocket.... ;)
