I used to eat sweets at the meetings. Best way was to do a pretend cough and then slip the toffee in!! Haha!

The saddest thing was that "how noisy the wrappers were" played a part in the candy / sweet buying decision making process

You know what they say, teach a man how to make a fire, and he will be warm for a long time - set a man on fire, and he will be warm for the rest of his life!

My grandfather used to keep his pockets stuffed full of candy for us kids at the hall. I think the only way I would be able to get my son to sit for 2 hours during a meeting was to keep handing him goodies. At the Catholic church that we sometimes attend with my husband, everyone stands, kneels, sits and sings throughout the service. My sister once attended church with us and she commented "No wonder your kids were bored at the kingdom hall, This is like exercising, and they let you eat the bread and wine? The J.W.s just pass it around, no wonder they need to bring their own munchies."

It used to drive me crazy at the meetings when someone would pop a certs into their mouth and proceed to loudly crunch once every five or seven or so minutes apart. It's like they kept the damn thing between their cheek and gums and then slide it out with their tongue take a loud annoying bite and then store it again for a future bite.
That gives you an idea of how quiet and boring the average meetings are.By the way SYN you are stealing MY material, which I stole first.

Hi Greven,
I actually went to Google and looked up a website that contained interesting and funny quotes. After perusing for awhile I saw Terry Pratchett's quote and thought it was hilarious, but I had never heard of him before. I will have to read some of his work, thanks for the recommendation.

Hell, I used to sit and count how many licks on my tongue to the center of a Tootsie Pop and count the chairs in my section or the number of lights or dividers on the ceiling just to occupy the time and maintain my sanity Anyone else do this?
Boy DID I!! Lights, dividers, chairs, ANYTHING to kill the boredom.
