An elderly parish priest became unhappy
with the things he was hearing during
Saturday confessions. After his sermon
one Sunday morning, he said to his
congregation, "I'm tired of hearing so
many people tell me in confession that
they have cheated. For thirty years,
people have been saying to me 'I have
cheated with Anthony... I have cheated
with Mary... I have cheated with
Frankie.' I am sick and tired of
hearing this word. From now on, when
you come into my confessional, you will
say 'I have fallen with Anthony, or with
Mary, or with Frankie.' No more the word
CHEAT. It will be FALL."
About a year later, the old priest
retired and was replaced by a younger
man. No one thought to tell the new
priest about the change of words in the
confessional. After hearing his first
round of Saturday confessions, the young
priest went to the mayor of the town and
said to him, "Mr. Mayor, you are going
to have to do something about the
deplorable condition of the streets and
sidewalks in this town. Everybody is
telling me they are falling all over the
place."
The mayor immediately understood the
problem, and he leaned back in his chair
and laughed.
The priest was puzzled, and said, "Mr.
Mayor, you shouldn't be laughing! Your
wife told me that just last week she
fell three times!"

ooogh ! LOL turns into choke out loud....
Reminds me of the priest who was sick and tired of his members drinking and cahorting, and he decided to have a go at them one Sunday during a sermon. He told the took a glass of water, and a glass of whisky , and put an earthworm in the glass of water, and the worm wriggled around in the water without much discomfort.
Then he put the same worm in the glass of whiskey, and the worm gave up the ghost in no time.
He asked the members what conclusion one should come to , and immediately pinkface Paddy jumped up and said " We drink whisky and we won't have any worms ...preacher ? "
