Ha! Love it. As soon as I saw the title, "Name Something You Pass Around" I laughed because I knew what was coming up. I used to watch that show daily.
passing the collection plate was abolished in the church here: One the reasons was : Church attendants are nosy, Its not any ones business what you give to the church or what you dont.. / A slot drop box is used now there you cant discreetly put in your donations, during mass, after mass or when you use the restroom to smoke a joint @ 1/2 time..
