Humpty Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 A SENIOR Church of England bishop was reportedly so drunk that he climbed into a stranger's car before falling out and hurting his head. The Sun newspaper reported yesterday that the Reverend Tom Butler had been at a function in south London and had got into a car belonging to property developers Paul and Nicola Sumpter, neither of whom were acquainted with him. Ms Sumpter said when she asked him if he had been drinking, he said: "I am the Bishop of Southwark. It's what I do." He subsequently fell out of the couple's Mercedes and cracked his head on the pavement. The couple said he walked away, leaving his personal organiser, crucifix and some papers.

Woody Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 Yes I heard this on the radio yesterday. Priceless. It is never difficult to distinguish between a Scotsman with a grievance and a ray of sunshine. P. G. Wodehouse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
