Ok, so on Sunday, I'm flying to Pittsburgh, PA. Also in First Class, I see a monk in full getup. I mean the brown robe, rope around the waist, sandals, skullcap, haircut, etc. Ok, good day at the collection plate? Special mission for the Vatican? Rich Relative? Not to mention he's slamming down Jack and Coke, hehe....

What gives?

I wasn't aware there were still orders that dressed this way?
If there are, I would think they'd be a bit more traditional?
Would such sects allow the consumption of hard liquor?
Man of the cloth or man of the coin?

Not that I have a real problem with it, I think most know how much I'm against organized religion anyhow, but this just struck me as rather odd... Any ideas as to what sect he might be?

That is strange... I know monks used to drink alottt. Monks did invent beer (God bless them)
