Secondly the phrase regarding billiard balls was, I believe. first coined by the character Dorien Green in the sitcom 'Birds of a Feather' where the character used it in reference to the buttocks of a current boyfriend.
The linkage of my scarred mind, the vesture of male clergy, billiard balls, a nun, her filthy underskirts and latin chanting transvestites is too much to contemplate and is beyond bearing.

Esteemed Physician,
I am always open to correction (whatever means are used to impart it) and will add the citation from "Birds of a Feather" to my UK Trivia notebook for further reference and study on the popular TV commedies page. Unfortunately, I have never had the pleasure of seeing this series having already fled the UK when it aired. It was a beautifully poetic description of that part of the anatomy and I believed it to be an authentic A-b original.
As to the use of "Soutane" i was tricked by translating from the Italian "Sottana" which is used here to mean the nun's habit

So, doubly corrected and extremely worried for A-b's worsening mental health prognosis, I will make an extra invocation to Our Lady of Caravaggio when i set off shortly on my annual pilgrimage.
In the meantime I hope that you will pass on the following image of "La Madonna di Caravaggio" for him to contemplate in his more lucid moments.
Please tell him that I will be fasting every first Friday of the month as penance for adding to his distress.
Yours etc, R.E.Pentant
