A little light humour from down under. As the Reader's Digest says "Humour
is the best medicine."
Did you hear the tale about the village priest giving a drunken
Patrick a lecture about his continual absences from Sunday Mass, and his
slack behaviour.......
"Just look at you Patrick, your drunk again!......dirty and unkept, why
don't you go home, have a bath,shave and tidy yourself up and present
yourself decently and respectably........are you afraid of WATER or
something Patrick?" (Poor Patrick couldn't get a word in edge-wise)....."the
Lord couldn't possibly reside within you, Patrick, not in your state!"
Patrick grunted in agreement, scratched his head, and turned to stagger
away, then turned back and exclaimed...."Oh!....Father!!....How do you get
gout?"
Father jumped in boots and all, thinking, 'here' is an opening to drive my
message home;......."How do you get gout!!"......."I'll tell you how you get
gout, Patrick, you get gout from the consumption of too much alcohol, not
showering and keeping yourself clean, tidy and respectable, sleeping on park
benches and under bridges, and keeping company of UNSAVOURY WOMEN, that's
how you get gout, Patrick........Have you got gout Patrick?
"N'No....Father, I was reading in the paper this morning, that the
Pope's got a touch of it".....
