I went to a private Catholic high school even though I'm not a Catholic myself. Lent meant nothing to me except for "ooh, this is the time of year they serve those awesome fish and chips at lunch on Fridays!" I still miss those fish and chips. Our cafeteria was awesome.

I know, no one ever believes me when I say it. My school was small - our graduating class was something like 75-100 students. The cafeteria was run by parents of students.

Put it this way - the pizza they served us daily was so good that they had a booth at the county fair that served it, and it was one of the most popular booths there.

But you're still collecting lint. I know because you never returned the lint brush I lent you last lent.
