Betty Goes to Church

"Why has he only got one arm?"
"He lost the other during the war. I got him fitted with an artificial arm, but he only wears it on Sunday when he goes to church."

  1. This is rather disarming. But with the way so many conflicts start over religious beliefs, I can understand why he'd want to be properly armed in church. ;-)

  3. Betty Barbara here--
    With a fond welcome for Betty Mary. But the puns, Betty Mary, the puns....
    Betty Debbie--that metal arm doesn't quite look like your standard reliquary, but is it? And if so, who's the saint? Or is it just a bizarre tomb ornament?
    Inquiring Betty wants to know.

  4. The picture is of a Victorian Era artificial arm. I thought it was cool looking - and fancy. Fancy enough to wear to church.
