Adventures of the New Priest

Once there was a Catholic church that recently got itself a new
priest. This priest was fixed on bringing young people to the
church. One day the older priest said down the younger one and
said, “You have done much good for our church! When you
suggested we get bucket seats instead of pews, the teenage
population of our church really went up!” The young priest
smiled smugly.

Then he continued, “And when you decided to bring in rock gospel
groups instead of a choir, the teenage population went up
further.” He smiles again.

“But the thing I’m not sure about is the drive-in confessional.
I mean, the whole idea is fine, but I’m concerned about the neon
sign in front. We might need to change that.” The other guy
frowned. “Well, what’s wrong with it, father?” “I just don’t
think that ‘Toot and Tell or go to Hell is such a nice gesture!”

Turn to stone

Lawyer Vacancy

There was a job opening in the country’s most prestigious law firm and it finally comes down to Robert and Paul.Both graduated magna cum laude from law school. Both come from good families. Both are equally attractive and well spoken. It’s up to the senior partner to choose one, so he takes each aside and asks, “Why did you become a lawyer?” In seconds, he chooses Paul.Baffled, Robert takes Paul aside.”I don’t understand why I was rejected. When Mr. Armstrong asked me why I became a lawyer, I said that I had the greatest respect for the law, that I’d lay down my life for the Constitution and that all I wanted was to do right by my clients. What in the world did you tell him?””I said I became a lawyer because of my hands,” Robert replies.”Your hands? What do you mean?””Well, I took a look one day and there wasn’t any money in either of them!”
