KNOW YOUR SAINTS

Today is the feast day of Saint Aaron. Little is known about him, except that he is the patron saint of businesses who want to appear on first page of the phone book, until usurped by Saint Aaaaaaaron, and latterly Saint 111111Elite Window Cleaners.

Saint 111111Elite Window Cleaners was martyred in 1152 by falling off a ladder. His last words were "Aaaargh". He is also patron saint of 1970s sex comedies.

Saint Aaaaaaaron went on to become the patron saint of sticky keyboards, until losing out to Saint Ron Jeremy. Not to be confused with Saint Zzzzzzzachary of Zzzzzyz, patron saint of people with improbable and made-up names.

Here endeth the lesson.

I referred to my preferred source of internetual expertise - catholicexpert.com - who tell us that Aaron, a young Briton, got pissed off with people pestering him, and went off to France to live as a hermit. What he failed to realise was that this eccentricity would attract attention, and he soon found himself surrounded by god-bothering loonies from far and wide.
Funny old world, isn't it?

Who is the patron saint of 1980s sex comedies, because I really enjoyed those.

Saint Simon of Templar's day was in the sixties.
Patron saint of the raised eyebrow and cigarette smoke circles.

I'm thinking Saint Aaron needs himself a whole week to feast.

Even for a holy zombie, the dude looks like skin and bones. Have a sandwich already!
