It Wasn’t a Graveyard Smash: Jesuit Ghosts Still Celibate

By

JESUIT COMMUNITY CEMETERY – On All Hallows Eve, as legend holds, spirits of the dead can once again inhabit the earth. Some will find for a soul to spook, others will look for a loved one, and still others will engage in some of the earthly pleasures they enjoyed while living. The Jesuits, however, took a vow. They do not get to take part in such earthly pleasures. While the other ghosts are out romping about and recapturing the ecstasy of companionship, the ghosts in the Jesuit Community Cemetery milled about and exchanged pleasantries. 

 

When they ran out of small talk and grandiose speculations about the continued success of the Catholic Church, many ghosts retired back to their gravesites. Others bravely continued the dialogue. One suggested that they hit Epi before returning to rest. This plan quickly fell apart after one overheard that Aramark had taken it over. Several deep highs were audible. 

 

By the time morning rolled around, it was time for the Jesuits to return to their graves. They exchanged goodbyes. There were several instances of side-lean hugs, high-five/knuckle bump mix ups, and walking in the same direction post-goodbye. All in all, the Jesuit ghost Halloween bash went about as well as they could have expected it to. Some even made vague promises to coordinate and go as the Spice Girls next year.
