The pope has created a fourth way to become a saint ... for martyrs.
Sounds like Islam ... without the 22 virgins

How many saints are there and what to they do? I gather the church doesn't know. Just as well there is an All Saints Day

I thought it was 72 virgins - that's it now, I'm going to shave the beard off :(

Try finding ONE virgin in Bolton under the age of 15 and you will be lucky!

Reminds me of a story in the local press many years ago now, basically it said there were no prostitutes plying their trade in Burnley. "Too many enthusiastic amateurs", was the explanation from a mate of mine.

Another mate of mine from Accrington once told me even Quasimodo could get laid on a Saturday night visit to Burnley Mecca!
