“After all the news that some churches, like Milan’s cathedral, were suspending the use of holy water fonts as a measure against swine flu, demands for my invention shot to the stars. I have received orders from all over the world,” (inventor Luciano Marabese) said.”

Do real men use holy water anymore regularly than they do soap dispensers in a bathroom, where we are told only a small percentage wash their hands in any fashion? ;-0

Hmmm…Looks like Jesus needed some help from the crooked capitalists!
