While I am not Catholic, I do attend Mass on occasions.  And while I know that at some point during the service the kneeling bench is going to be used, it always takes me by surprise.  And such was the case last Sunday.  The bench came down on my foot pinning my shoe to the floor.  And since everyone else was kneeling, I had no choice but to sit down and try to free my shoe.  After about ten seconds, I was able to free my foot and assume the position.  I hate that when that happens.
