At that point, steam rose off my chest and a sizzling sound could be heard as my godless bones began to liquify. They dumped some Jack Daniels on me and it saved me.
the last part may be a dramatization, but I did drink the water. My mother thought it was the funniest thing, luckily.
You can take holy water home with you? I did not know that. Do all Catholics take holy water home for their holy water needs? My knowledge of Catholicism is limited. I grew up in the Southern US. We were good protestants, Southern Baptist. We didn't cotton to those evil heathen Catholics from up north.
