Givin' It Up

Today is Ash Wednesday.

See what I did there?

It's the first day of Lent. As a Catholic, I'm supposed to give something up until Easter.

I can dig it. This year I'm going to take my cue from Pope Benedict XVI.

Or as I call him, Pope Blofeld.

I'm giving up Catholicism.

Hey, if His Holiness can give up the Church, so can I.

Or as I call him, Pope Ben Affleck.

If he comes back on Easter, so will I. Otherwise...

What's Latin for "hasta la vista"?

Amen.
