Last night at after-church coffee, one of the church members, who seemed to be blissfully unaware that he was standing in my personal space, gave me a full and enthusiastic demonstration of his underwater breathing technique. This might have been highly educational and useful for improving my own attempts in this area but for the fact that the demonstrator had been eating copious amounts of garlic before coming to church. With expellations of air which were on the brink of causing a localised tornado and which would easily have warded off all evil ones within a mile radius, I was at full stretch in feigning mild interest whilst maintaining an upright stance.
I think I managed to demonstrate a certain amount of grace (she said modestly) but wonder if I should have found some tactful way of mentioning the issue before he inflicted the same fate on others?
