This is something I stumbled across in Joseph Harper's "White Board News:"
This item comes by way of John Reiher:
Bamford, England:
A Vicar continued praying when a ferret disappeared up his cassock during a
communion service.
The Reverend Stephen Grey, of St. Michael's Church, Bamford, near Rochdale,
Greater Manchester, was alerted to the interloper when a woman worshipper
screamed and jumped upon a pew.
"I looked up and there it was, staring at me," he said yesterday. "It went
three times around my cassock and then stuck its head underneath."
Eventually, the ferret -- believed to be a pet -- was ejected from the
church after biting a parishioner's thumb.
"I was trained to carry on regardless, but I must admit the prayers speeded
up a bit towards the end," Mr. Grey said.
