The Monsignor replied, "When I am worried about getting nervous on the pulpit, I put a glass of vodka next to the water glass. If I start to get nervous, I take a sip."
So...
Next sunday he took the Monsignor's advice.
At the beginning of the sermon, he got nervous and took a drink. He proceeded to talk up a storm!
Upon his return to his office after Mass, he found the following note on the door:
1) Sip the vodka, don't gulp.
2) There are 10 commandments, not 12.
3) There are 12 disciples, not 10.
4) Jesus was consecrated, not constipated.
5) Jacob wagered his donkey, he did not bet his ass.
6) We do not refer to Jesus Christ as the late J.C.
7) The Father, Son and Holy Spirit are not referred to as Daddy, Junior and the Spook.
8) David slew Goliath; he did not kick the shit out of him.
9) When David was hit by a rock and was knocked off his donkey, don't say he was stoned off his ass.
10) We do not refer to the cross as the 'Big T.'
11) When Jesus broke the bread at the last supper he said, "Take this and eat it for this is my body." He did not say, "Eat me."
12) The Virgin Mary is not called 'Mary with the Cherry.'
13) The recommended grace before a meal is not: Rub-A-Dub-Dub thanks for the grub, Yeah God.
14) Next Sunday there will be a taffy pulling contest at St. Peter's, not a peter pulling contest at St. Taffy's.
"we do not refer to the cross as the 'Big T.'"
ReplyDeleteHAHAHAHAHA!
If my priest looked like the one in the photo, then I would be faithfully at church every week! LOL!
ReplyDeleteMy Mom would say, dad,lad, and spook, and then giggle like it was so funny. I found you on "I should be laughing". I put you on my favorites, your funny.
ReplyDeleteThanks Mike! I really appreciate that.
ReplyDeleteoh my god, this is hilarious! Love your blog, paul.
ReplyDeleteThe Engineer, as a child, used to say, "Father, Son and the Holy Witch" (impressed or terrified by the nuns at the hospital where his dad had patients).
ReplyDeleteMy favorite is #8. I actually laughed out loud at a few of these. HA!
ReplyDeleteGreat post (it must be religious theme blog day?). Love it! Is it wrong to admit the priest in the photo turns me on? I guess I need to pray to the Big JC for forgiveness!
ReplyDeleteLOL! Love it! Mass might be a little more entertaining if sermons were really like that! J/K! :-)
ReplyDeleteI would start going to church again! HAHAHA
ReplyDeletegreat stuff as always!
ReplyDeleteI like how George Carlin took the 10 commandments into 2.
ReplyDeleteThou shalt always be honest and faithful
to the provider of thy nookie.
&
Thou shalt try real hard not to kill anyone, unless of course
they pray to a different invisible man than you.
My favorite is:
ReplyDelete11) When Jesus broke the bread at the last supper he said, "Take this and eat it for this is my body." He did not say, "Eat me."
God, if my priest were to say this in mass I would not be able to contain myself from laughing uncontrollably!
HA! Ray, I'd never heard those before. There is so much truth in those 2 commandments though!
ReplyDeletemary with the cherry....tehehehe
ReplyDeleteAn oldie but goodie! :-)
ReplyDeleteAnd there's me thinking this posting was serious. No wonder I failed religious education at school
ReplyDelete"Eat me"
ReplyDeleteNow THAT'S religion!
AMEN TO THAT? haha
ReplyDeleteThat priest pic is cute
ReplyDeleteMaybe if sermons were given with such earthy charm, pews wouldn't be so empty. Paul, a fun post for sure!
