I was telling people at my dentist's office this afternoon that we hadn't been able to sell our house. The dentist, hygienist, and receptionist all said what I really need to do is bury a small statue of Saint Joseph in my yard and that this would lead a buyer to my door. OK, they didn't say it in a way that made me think they were crazy. It was more like, Yes we didn't believe it either, but it did seem to work.
Two of them in the office said the statue has to be buried upside down, but weren't sure why. The dentist said he buried one he borrowed from his mother in law right side up and that worked. The receptionist said that religious bookstores stock Saint Joseph kits that come with an instruction manual.
I told the hygienist I guess I need to make sure I buy the right saint. I could buy a Saint Louis and end up with a six-pack of beer. She didn't think that was too funny. I'm sure this all ranks up there with horoscopes and palm-reading. Then again, it can't be any worse than the results we've gotten so far.
