mug of joy

i run a youth club on a friday night in a pretty old church (but not as old as the one daily doobs works at!)

i love this mug and have been eyeing it up for about a year. there's a good chance it's a 70's original! tonight i asked if i could take it on the condition that i replace it. needless to say it's now home and having a bleach treatment. why are hygiene standards in old churches so far below par?!
