My nails grow extremely quickly, so I have to get manicures on a weekly basis. Some people might think it’s a bit lavish to get manicures so often, but they don’t understand my job. I give people communion on a regular basis. My hands must look clean. Nobody wants to take communion from a guy with dirty cuticles.

You're exactly right ~ having well-taken care of hands is very important in your line of work!

Thank you for being so considerate, holy father. Now could you do something about the shared cup of wine? Not very hygienic, you know.

You should have your manicure people paint little crosses on your nails.

You know, for extra holiness.

With all these grooming problems, Holiness, how do you find time to take on the big problems in the world? You know, wars, terrorism, nonbelievers, that kind of stuff. Inquisition minded followers want to know.

you could multitask and get the mani pedis while you're hearing confessions! The kneelers make really great footrests!

What are your thoughts on henna?

Hopefully you get them buffed and not polished. A Pope with shiny, lacquered nails just isn't right.

You probably just want to go to the nail salon to check out the Asian babes.

Highly Powered makes a valid point ~ and for that, we must forgive him.

The nail thing ... do you still issue Communion by way of the little round wafer? Cuz if that's the case, it's not very sanitary. I'm sure your fingers must touch a tongue or two now and again. Bleh... then you're passing on all those germs to the next person. How about some latex gloves. I don't think the body of Christ would mind much, really.
If you dish out the piece of stale bread and cup of wine, then I'm with redhead gal. That's even more "ew." My old church switched to the dixie cup thing years ago. Just a thought.
