Well, I have done it again… I helped to clean out the “dungeon”. I’m not sure if I explained in my last blog what the dungeon is. It is the old building where my church used to meet (Ivan did a great job messing the place up). About half of the building is still in need of repair, and turned into a “catch all” kind of storage place for us.
We had out so much crap, yes crap, in there were did not know what was what. Or what was where. Enter the crazy people who volunteered to help…
Everytime I went into that place, I didn’t go alone. Plus I would pray everytime I was opening a box (I was praying that nothing would jump out on me). One day something actually did get on me. I think it was maybe a spider, or some kind of insect with legs. Either way, I screamed like a girl when it landed and ran on my arm. I was both embarrassed and in shock. I shudder at just the thought of it.
All in all, it went pretty good. We have gone through almost everything, and put items in their respective bins. They’re its one bin in particular that I LOVE. This is yet another reason I love my church:
On a gross note, we found a half eaten Jay of peanut butter:
Some ground cumin:
And lay but not least, an unopened bottle if orange soda (the thing was in the bottom of a box and had been there so long it was concave!):
Thankfully, that was the grossest stuff found. We did come across a few funny things… and some items that made you go “what the farkle?!”.
Now, my church is a place full of performers for kids church. But still, some if the pros make you scratch your head.
Example, not one, but TWO toilet seats!
We also suspended mice/rats, but we could never find any proof:
Then there was the scary find of three rolls of duct tape. I mean hey, (I totally feel like I sound like that dude from duck dynasty) you can fix anything with that stuff.
We also discovered a plastic owl. No clue why we have it, or when we acquired it:
Oh, then there was the most random box of all. I’m not sure if it tops the chain and communion wafers box, but it was close:
I don’t know if there will be a part three, they were almost done on the last day that I volunteered. I hope you got as much humor and laughs out of this as I did!
