'fess up - which one's funnier ?
Nothing to do with golf - and I'm not tryning to start a debate over religion - this is strictly technology...I just find this idea funny.
A few years back, there were stories about Catholic churches installing drive-thru confessionals.
In Alabama, several "no tell motels" have installed coin operated confessionals staffed by local priests, so folks can check in, enjoy their hookers or other affairs, then pop in a few dollars and have it wiped off the celestial record.

I can't remember the movies and TV shows, but I remember seeing (humorous) confessional machines that spit out how many Hail Mary's you have to say for penance, or your forgiveness.
Now - and you're going to love this - comes an iPhone app for confessions. The App is $1.99 - sounds like a pretty good deal. I have no idea how it works, but it sounds like they have taken the human interaction and turned the confession into talking to your phone and having forgiveness pop out on the screen.

Court...don't know the movie either, but I think TV was
Saturday Night Live….I had a buddy when we were Teen agers, who was catholic….He’d go to confession about once every 5-6 weeks..And he was no Angel….He always went on a Wednesday…He said the same Priest was there, was hard of hearing and he used to get away with 5-6 Hail Marys… When we go older, we used to go to that same Catholic Church on Thursday Evenings to play cards…The mens club put it on, and they used to have a Keg of beer….We always sat with a certain Priest, because he had a bottle of Brandy on the floor under his robe….We used to walk out of there sometimes on our ears…Always made sure we left a good donation behind, so we were welcome back….STUB

LOL – Seems like you only hear stories like that from the catholic church. Protestant churches only seem to get the “who’s sleeping with who” stories. :-D
Fathom the odd hypocrisy that the government wants every citizen to prove that they have health insurance, but people don't have to prove they are citizens.
