What are they DOING?
I am Roman Catholic, which is not the most happy skippy jumpy religion in the world. Being in the American South, the choir director thought that we should try to be more spirited in our singing, like many of the charismatic Protestant churches that run our politics here. So they tried to do "This little light of mine" one Sunday morning.

The choir got rather spirited, singing with heart while all of us did our minor key monotone "thiiiiis liiiitle liiight of miiiiine..."

That was funny enough, but then the choir started clapping in time with the music. Not a single one of the congregation clapped. We just all looked at them with frightened expressions. "What are they DOING? This is mass! You don't CLAP!"

They never tried that again.

there's a funny sketch,
from Little Britain I think, of an Anglican church with a guest preacher from Harlem:

Preacher: We gonna fight the power! What are we gonna do?

Anglicans (in slow unison): Fight the power.

Preacher: I said what are we gonna do?

A: Fight the power.

etc.
