Haha, I can see it now:

“Your Holiness, we’ve found a way to efficiently baptize the entire world”

How’s THAT for fulfilling the Great Commission! XD

I was always a little worried that the metal wand the priest shook would come flying into someones head.

Where I live, in Trinidad & Tobago, West Indies, the parish of St. Peter’s celebrates it’s harvest on the Sunday nearest to the Feast of Saints Peter & Paul. Since it is a fishing village, there has arisen the custom of the fishing boats being blessed on that day. The custom involves the parish priest, a number of altar servers and the choir boarding a boat and motoring back an forth in the bay. The fishing boats circle about the boat that the priest is on, with much darting in and out (sometimes recklessly) for a blessing. The priest energetically try to shower the boats and their occupants with holy water. One year the priest tried so hard that the metal wand you refer to sailed out of his hand right over one of the boats and disappeared, for ever, beneath the waves! There was a lot of laughter about that!
