THE HOLY COMMUNION

Man and ball may seem to be an odd couple to the more reserved and orthodox thinkers amongst us but a careful analysis of an average human life and the evolution of history will no doubt reveal that this is match made in heaven.
Remember the light red ball filled with air, about the size of a football that had you hypnotized when you were a toddler rolling with it, kicking it, grabbing it, throwing it formed the basis of your and similarly mine relationship with a ball and somehow that first ball is always red. But this is not about colours and as we grow older we discover and sometimes invent millions of ways to interact with a ball some of them have been called sports.
The obsession of men with balls is simply shown by the gazillion types of balls we have invented, see for yourself we have footballs, baseballs, cricket balls, tennis balls, golf balls, volleyballs the list is endless we have even made the rugby ball and similar to it the American and Australian footballs which are not even spherical, so balls come in all sizes and even in fact one of the greatest achievements of modern science is the art of ball making, we make them of all sorts of things, we put all sorts of things in them (u pervert) and we have all sorts of ways to stitch them together.
The obsession with balls does not end there, the word ’ball’ unthreatening as it may seem has taken over our normal conversations. I got a dog like friend who says “balls to you”, though he never mentions which ones it is suppose to be insulting. We refer to some of our most important organs as balls that is like the highest respect that a word can get.
God of course realized this very soon during the course of evolution. That is when he created the woman and also made sex sooooooooooooo good and breasts to make us work. Of course the whole Adam and Eve story was a big cover up. All in all the Holy Communion was man and ball not man and that chick
