We never got to hear about Book's story he told at the dinner table in Out of Gas. We know it had something to do about Nady, a priest, and him being so proud about something, and none of the brethern had the heart to tell him...something. So what mischief were they getting into at the olde monastary? I can only assume he had a "Kick Me" sign on his back.

My first assumption was that it was another hair story (like Mal and Zoe's story in The Message). second option would be something like, someone cut a hole in the backside of his monastic robes.
but always open to new and funny ideas.

That part of the show always reminds me of the time when my High School drama teacher somehow got to telling the class funny stories about her "cloistered days." (She was an ex-nun teaching drama at a public school. Some people juggle geese!)

My creative brain must be turned off. I can't think how to finish (or start rather) Book's story!

Monastic humor. I miss all the fun.

America loves a winner!

I kinda got the impression that it may hsve something to do w/ plants or some such. Seems to me one of the things a priest might be proud of would be a garden. Could be anything from tomatoes to sun flowers.

So this guy is old and can't see to well, but he takes great pride in his garden and his plants. So he's out there growing in his garden and OMG! Look at this great rose! Its so perfect! So very beautiful! So he picks it and puts in in water and wants to share it with everybody at the Abby. So, of course, he puts it up on the alter. Only thing is, its painfully obvious that the rose is fake, but he was so PROUD, and well respected so no one had the heart to tell him. They were just, you know, giving each other significant glances and...

Don't squat with your spurs on.

I think you nailed it Ebo. Unless it was some sort of Giant Squash.

Or dandelions (i.e., raised by someone who has no experience with or knowledge of plant life).

Oh! Or maybe it was some sort of religious artifact (I dunno, Jesus' foreskin or something) that he managed to get ahold of and he thought it was real and flauted it and stuff, only it had "Made in China" (or the space-western equiviant) stamped on it and everybody knew it but him.

and he was so PROUD!

Or maybe he just had made some bad dinner,or food or something but none of the brethern had the heart to tell him how bad it was because he was just so proud of it.

I have no idea what the story was about, but it wasn't about a priest called Nady, but something which was Natty.

I always thought it had something to do with an article of clothing someone was wearing which looked natty.

Unless they were talking about Natty Gann.

Ah...but the question is - was it a TRUE story, or merely something close to truth? This is Book, after all - perhaps in reality it wasn't a priest, but instead a soldier in a troop.

If it DID involve a garden at Book's monastery, I'd guess vegetables would be involved more than flowers (they grew strawberries and tomatoes, we know) - so squash IS more likely - perhaps something to do with the taste?
