She said she was a roamin’ Catholic.
I get the roamin’/Roman pun for the walking of sleepwalking. But, much like astronomy class, the rest is going right over my head. What else am I missing here? How does Catholic tie into sleeping?
There are different types of Catholics. The Eastern Orthodox church, for example. The Catholics most people are thinking of when they use the term “Catholic” are often identified as Roman Catholics.
Yeah, I get that. My confusion steams from the use of “sleepwalking” as opposed to another word choice like “traveling.” In my mind it creates an expectation that being asleep will be a component of the pun-chline that I’m not seeing. This makes the joke feel half-finished to me. Am I missing something, or am I just overthinking it?
