"Confirmation"

If you grew up in the catholic faith you would know that somewhere around 12 years of age(I think) you would undergo the sccrament of confirmation. There would be a special ceremony and the bishop would come by and lay his hands on you (ooh...that sounds bad) and he would call down the Holy Spirit on you, or the Holy Ghost as he was called back then. The sacrament of confirmation was supposed to be some kind of rite of passage leaving you changed forever. For me the whole thing was a bitter disappointment because the nuns told me that we were gonna feel different after it was all over. We were gonna feel full of the holy ghost! I unfortunately felt exactly the same as before except perhaps a little more cynical about all the voodoo.

Forty years later I know what the nuns meant. The only part they had wrong was that it was about Ironman, not confirmation! I think I actually "am" the holy ghost!
