A Roman Catholic priest is on his way to Rome when he runs into an old childhood friend.
“My goodness, Mary!” He says. “How have you been?”
“Oh, could be better,” she says. “My husband and I have been trying to have children for fifteen years, but we are barren.”
“I’m so sorry,” says the priest. “I’m on a pilgrimage to Rome, and I promise to light a candle for you in the great cathedral.”
Mary thanks him, and after chatting a little longer, they part ways.
Five years later, the priest is eating dinner when there’s a knock at his door. He opens it, and to his surprise, it’s Mary.
“I’m so glad I found you!” She exclaims. “Remember that candle you lit for me, years ago? Well, my husband and I now have two sets of twins and a set of triplets — and I just found out I’m pregnant with quadruplets!”
She then hands the priest an all-expenses paid ticket to Rome.
“Oh Mary!” Says the priest. “Your joy is my joy. You didn’t need to give me a thank-you gift.”
“Oh no, it’s not a thank you,” says Mary. “It’s so you can blow out that motherfricking candle.”

Ha! Good morning Army. It was not considered a luxury purchase when we bought it 19 years ago. When we built the house it was aboot a $400 upgrade. We upgraded because the Seer was 12. That was good back then.

Good morning JD. Over 19 years it has used 2 capacitors, a plunger switch, and a relay. That's pretty good. I was able to see the bad capacitors and figured out the plunger switch. I had to pay to figure out the relay though.
Now, y'all all know way more aboot this Trane than anybody ever wanted to know.
