    I've been a listener for 10-15 years. Every time G.K. says "Our Lady
    of Perpetual Responsibility" the first time in a monologue, there is a
    slight laugh from the audience members. Why is this? What am I missing?

    Thanks, Kevin Wright.

    IF you take a position of responsibility - such as choir director - you will never get out of it - until you drop - because nobody else wants it.

    When you get roped into a position of responsibility (such as choir director) it becomes a position of perpetual responsibility - because you can never get out of it.
