My bad. I mixed up the topics this week - that certainly damages my chances of being a saint in a suit. Or jeans. Or sweats. Truth is there is no chance sainthood will land in my vicinity. Canonization is not in my future. Oh darn. Woe is me.
I confess - I have no earthly idea what Pravin had in mind when he came up with this jewel of a topic. I see Ramana invoked Simon Templar - a fave of mine as well. But how does it relate to the topic? Beats me.
In suit. A curious choice of words. Lawsuit? Yves St Laurent suit? Spades, Hearts, Clubs or Diamonds? A lawsuit? In Texas, my former home, suits were often incorrectly referred to in furniture discussions, Living room suits and the like. I have always known that reference to be suites. But Texas is unique - the state fancies itself as a republic and is governed by a wheelchair bound guy named Greg Abbott that refuses to make a left turn - 3 rights make a left there. But the BBQ is spectacular - best ever IMHO.
I know of no saints from the white collar, suited world. Saints typically come from much humbler beginnings where service to mankind is more important. Of course anyone who knows me knows my religious affiliations are less than stellar.
So it seems Pravin got me with his topic. I have often prided myself on checking the topic and writing away. I am pretty much one of those "knows a little about a lot" kinda guys. Not this week. The white flag of surrender is herewith raised.
I suspect that Pravin was in his cups when he came up with this topic. Don't underestimate your prospects for canonisation. Worse things have happened!
ReplyDeleteISIS were being a "saint in a suit" too.
