How much to tip a priest that comes to exorcise my home (1 Viewer)

[butcher boy]

My wife is convinced someone was murdered in out basement. She sleeps down there and just has a feeling I guess. I disagree because I told her they have to disclose that stuff when you buy, but she's having a priest come by to do something to get rid of whatever it is she feels is wrong. I immediately asked how much this is going to cost and she said they don't charge, but a donation to the church is considered nice. I told her ten bucks should cover it, but she says like $100 is more appropriate. WTF?

 

[Jaysus]

You are wrong and she is right. Write that down.

How come she sleeps in the basement?

A Jelly of the Month Club subscription makes a nice gift IMO

Sounds like a confession to me.

It's the gift that keeps on giving.

$100 per hour. Now... tell us the story of your wife sleeping down the basement... wtf is that all about? I assume you don't sleep down the basement. Better question might be, how much will a divorce cost you?

Sounds like more than $100 per hour.

Yes but the attorney work is based on actual education and reality.

How come she sleeps in the basement?

Her choice. She's a light sleeper and I sound like a chainsaw when I snore. I paid thousands for a california king, I'm not giving that up.

 

[brun]

If true you could Airbnb the basement. I bet you'd get some customers.

 

[ChiefD]

This thread is a mystery:

1. op name is butcherboy

2. murder in basement

3. op sleeps like a chainsaw

Now, it may just be me, but the op murdered someone in the basement with a chainsaw. Probably a priest. Anyone with me?

 

[Leroy Hoard]

Ramones had this situation in mind. I'm assuming she calls you "daddy-o".

Hey daddy-o
I don't wanna go
Down to the basement
There's something down there
I don't wanna go
Down to the basement
Hey Romeo
There's something down there
I don't wanna go
Down to the basement

Is there a ghost down there? Otherwise, what is the priest going to do?

Get in shape by exercising .................. try to keep up, tia

It's a house blessing I think. My wife believes there are spirits of victim(s) down there. She tried burning sage or rosemary or something already. Of course I think it's a load of bs, but she has to live down there not me.

 

[The General]

I think a hundy to help her sleep seems like a bargain.

 

[Willie Neslon]

We always over-tip the exorcism priest because that way you know you'll get a little bit extra effort the next time they come over.

 

[belljr]

Can we start a separate thread for "my wife lives in my basement"

 

[Grahamburn]

I've seen this movie. Kevin Bacon was in it.

Also, separate sleeping arrangements for couples is becoming more common place. Intimacy when appropriate and then off to your own room for a good night's sleep. Kind of like dating but with the same person all the time and better tax benefits.

What state are you in? I could roll by for a fee. My family is convinced I'm a medium. I dont really get it, but I do sense that stuff on the reg. Not sure how to cure it, but I could tell you if she's lying.

$10 on day of blessing, $90 after 30 days if the wife thinks the spirits are gone.

 

[The Big Donkey]

I've tipped the AAA guy $20 the few times i've needed the service. $10 seems pretty cheap.

 

[belljr]

It depends if he's Catholic or Eastern Orthodox

I’ve been reading about home blessings. Maybe DIY and save the $100:

Blessing of a New Home

When any of the faithful wish to mark their moving into a new home with a religious celebration, the parish priest (pastor) and his associates should gladly cooperate. The occasion provides a special opportunity for a gathering of the members of the community to mark the joyful event and to...

She's convinced anything short of a priest is not gonna work. She's down there most of the time so I don't mind, but the cost seems high.

 

[Skipdog77]

My money is on this being a "pre-exorcism", so butcher boy doesn't come back and haunt the house after she murders him for snoring and making her sleep in the basement.

 

[arrow1]

I'd like to more on what she thinks is going on in the basement≥

 

[The Big Donkey]

$100 doesn't seem excessive for my wife's peace of mind, unless you think this isn't the first time the priest has been in your basement.

 

[Hoh]

What happens if you stare into a mirror and drink 3 bloody marys?

 

[gianmarco]

I wish I could have heard that first phone call to the priest.

 

[Klaatu Barada Nikto]

you mean exercise in your home? like it’s a gym?

 

[Don Quixote]

No job is too big. No fee is too big.

 

[ChiefD]

Normally the church wants 10%. Pay the $100.

 

[ProstheticRGK]

Dress up like an altar boy.

 

[Ron Swanson]

Traditionally, one exorcism per family every few years is provided gratis to tithing parishioners. Now, that isn't saying you can't give him a nice bottle of wine or some other token of appreciation. But cash is kind of gauche.

I thought this was on the down low?

 

[trogg78]

Just the tip.

 

[landrys hat]

Are there any secret doors and tunnels down there?

One of my favorite lines. Murray is a comedic genius.

Did you buy your house from the Lutz family?

This house is clean.

Candlesticks make a nice gift

 

[SWC]

Just don't use it up too early. My problem turned out just to be squirrels in the attic.
