    I heard those Franciscan Friars are damn good swimmers. I even heard that the Olympic Committee is thinking on giving them their own swimming competition. Even Michael Phelps would finish behind one of those dudes.

  2. Duke says:

    Wow. That’s *really* specific…

  3. Seibee says:

    Is that in code?

  4. skeptic says:

    Maybe they mean “If you want to drown, at least take one of those pesky friars with you”?

  5. Jami says:

    Is it a large baptismal pool or one of those miracle healing places?

  6. js says:

    I was thinking it is a reference to a book. I don’t know which one. But maybe the body of water and a friar was featured in it?

  7. Ken says:

    PS Disaster.

  8. midge says:

    It is at a retreat center…

    they say to swim with the friars but really there is a small underwater platform less than 10 ft away from that sign so they really “walk” on water

  9. Your inner voice says:

    But scuba diving with sleeping bag and cement shoe is ok…

  10. Blake says:

    Maybe the Friars blessed the water so the signs reflection no longer says SHOPPED upside down…

  11. daniel says:

    oh! i know this place, i took a picture of the same sign when i saw it several years ago.

  12. ieldanth says:

    Does he sit under a tree and laugh at you?

    Seriously! Not even with a Dominican one? Come on people!

  14. Jerry says:

    I thought for most people Jesus was their co-pilot! I guess that changes in cases of swimming. Does that make the Friar a Monk Fish?

  15. Anonymous says:

    There is always an exception no exceptions.

  16. Malady says:

    hey! i was baptised by a Friar.
    definately a baptismal pool.

  17. Lara says:

    What’s funny is I spent four years laughing at that sign on high school retreat and here it is again. What makes it better is that we always went swimming without a friar

  18. rinrin says:

    Haha, I’ve been to that retreat centre, it makes my day every time see it!

  19. Sydney says:

    Haha, I’ve been there many times on retreat. We were never allowed to talk to the friars, so no swimming for us.

  20. Yomandude says:

    Out of the Friar pool, into the fire.
