A Religious Outlook on the British Isles...

There were the Scots, who kept the Sabbath, and everything else they could lay their hands on...

Then there were the Welsh, who prayed on their knees, and their neighbors...

Thirdly there were the Irish, who never knew what they wanted, but were willing to fight for it anyway...

Lastly there were the English, who considered themselves a self-made nation, thus relieving the Almighty of a dreadful responsibility.

Kingly Contraceptive

King Arthur was preparing to go out on an expedition and would be away from Camelot for an indefinate period of time.  He was worried about leaving Queen Guinevere alone with all those horny Knights of the Round Table.  So he went to Merlin for some advice.  After explaining his predicament to Merlin, the wizard looked thoughtful, and said that he’d see if he could come up with something, and asked him to come back in a week.

 A week later King Arthur was back in Merlin’s laboratory where the good wizard was showing him his latest invention.  It was a chastity belt...  except that it had a rather large hole in the most obvious place.  “This is no good, Merlin!” the King exclaimed.  “Look at this opening.  How is this supposed to protect m’lady, the Queen?”

 “Ah, sire, just observe.” said Merlin as he searched his cluttered work bench until he found what he was looking for.  He then selected his most worn-out wand, one that he was going to discard anyway.  He then inserted it in the gaping aperture of the chastity belt whereupon a small guillotine blade came down and cut it neatly in two.

 “Merlin, you are a genius!” said the grateful monarch, “Now I can leave, knowing that my Queen is fully protected.”

 After putting Guinevere in the device, King Arthur then set out upon his Quest.  Several years passed until he returned to Camelot.  Immediately he assembled all his Knights in the courtyard and had them drop their trousers for an informal ‘short arm’ inspection.  Sure enough!  Each and every one of them was either amputated or damaged in some way.  All of them except Sir Galahad.

 “Sir Galahad!” exclaimed King Arthur, “The one and only true Knight!  Only you among all the nobles have been true to me.  What is it in my power to grant you?  Name it and it is yours!”

 But Sir Galahad was speechless.


The New Priest

A new priest at his first mass was so nervous he could hardly speak.  After mass he asked the monsignor how he had done.  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 monsignors 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 Ghost 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 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 it 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.
