The readers here have spoken in majority-- "less effort, and don't worry about this stuff, anyway." So then, here's S02E03 of my favorite Irish TV series, called "Father Ted." (media.piefed.social)

It's from the brilliant Irish sendup of Catholicism, i.e. "Father Ted":

EDIT: TBC, "less effort" means 'less explaining' for the readership.

For a second there you had me worried that Ardal O'Hanlan said something horrible recently until I remembered Graham Linehan. We love Ardal

Yes, the deliberate awkwardness that made Ted look like a total idiot in that particular ep. "Are You Right There, Father Ted" I think it was.

Let's keep these things in context, shall we?
