Body Long ago... I was signing up for classes at Fordham for the first time...

The clerk was checking my application, and noticed I had omitted something.

"Religious or lay?," she casually asked.

But my expression showed that I hadn't a clue.

She looked me in the eye and carefully rephrased the question:

"ARE YOU STUDYING TO BECOME A PRIEST?"

"N-N-NO!," I stammered.

Satisfied, she returned to the form, and quietly said, 

"Then you are lay," as she marked the appropriate box.

I walked away feeling very stupid ... yet relieved that I hadn't marked the wrong one.
