Small ads saint costs a fortune

Dont't often read the small ads but it seems there's a lot of folk shelling out to say thanks to a saint. Can't be a lot happening in heaven if they have time to read the paper. St Jude especially must be pretty busy, being the boy in charge of lost and desperate causes. Plenty of those about.

But he must be getting the job right because the faithful are paying good money to say thanks. Seems a swift prayer will not do, only shelling out your hard-earned is enough. Good old St Jude doesn't get anything, not that he needs it where he is, just the newspaper collects the cash.

Money for old rope springs to mind. Poor old Jude's got enough on his plate without trailing through the small ads, and in these hard-up times, his work load can only get heavier. Shall we all do him a favour and give the thankyou money to charity instead, then maybe we'd be giving him a helping hand?
