I have to be careful with you, my DW is already jealous enough as it is.
Send bottles and I'll send some hot sauce and a couple of jars of this
and that as soon as the sauce is bottled. How's that for a deal? Someone
has to eat this stuff, no way Miz Anne (my DW) and I can eat 2 gallons
of sauce.

Oh, by the way, I'm the Father Inquisitor, not the Father Confessor.
Even my purity couldn't stand carrying the sins of the Sacred Sisters.
Besides that the Father Inquisitor gets to keep the whips, thumb screws,
and rack, and the whips. Oops, did I mention whips?<BSEG>
