Quite a few of our coworkers observed the Ash Wednesday every year. One time a coworker asked me what I would give up for lent, I said that I didn't intend to give up anything. He looked at me with a "Oh, you sinner" expression.
Then I asked a young woman what did she give up for lent. She replied, "If I tell you what I give up, it won't be a sacrifice anymore."
