I was having a crafty kip in the car and had put the bag over my head to keep the darkness within. That's why the bag is turvy-topsy.

Re: Leisurely Scribbles (part 5)
There is a lot to be said about ‘thinking outside the box’, the confession box that is. When I was a boy I had to go to confession once a week, there was usually a fair sized queue outside and you had plenty of time to think while kneeling there, outside the box,It eventually paid off and probably guided by divine inspiration I came up with the perfect solution of telling a false confession and at the same time telling a truthful one which technically meant my sins were still absolved, here’s how it went.
Father O’Dowd always ran through a verbal list of typical sins young boys would be likely to commit like.
Him: “Did you steal?”
Me: “No father”
Him: “Were you disobedient to your parents?”
Me : “No father”
Him: “Did you have bad thoughts?”
Me: “No father”
And on it went until he would finally ask
“Anything else you left out boy?”
“Oh yes father, I almost forgot… I told lies”
He would then bless you and say “Go your way in peace my son, your sins are forgiven”
Always leave the ‘lies’ bit till last, It worked a treat every time, no kiddin’, he never copped on, I passed the system down to all me other siblings, well it was only fair, as me granny used to say “It’s a poor family that hasn’t got one gentleman in it”, of course that was in the days of big families.

I don't know about this thinking outside the bogs malarkey. The thought most uppercrust in my mind was to get in the bog and do what a man's got to do do. Whilst in the bogs I could then actuarily start to think straight, but not when I was outside the bogs rushing to get in.I had more pressing matters on my mind then.
But, once inside the bogs I would often have some of my best thinks.
As for stinking outside the bogs, well that was what usually sent me into the bogs in the first place.
