Never, Never, Never Be Late

[matriz]

A Priest was being honoured at his retirement dinner after 35 years in the parish. A

leading local politician and member of the congregation was chosen to make the

presentation and to give a little speech at the dinner.

 

However, he was delayed, so the Priest decided to say his own few words while they

waited:

'I got my first impression of the parish from the first confession I heard here. I

thought I had been assigned to a terrible place.

 

The very first person who entered my confessional told me he had stolen a television

set and, when questioned by the police, was able to lie his way out of it.

He had stolen money from his parents, embezzled from his employer, had an affair with

his boss's wife, taken illegal drugs, and gave VD to his neighbour's wife. I was

appalled. But as the days went on I learned that my people were not all like that and I

had, indeed, come to a fine parish full of good and loving people.'...

 

Just as the Priest finished his talk, the politician arrived full of apologies at being

late. He immediately began to make the presentation and gave his talk:

 

'I'll never forget the first day our parish Priest arrived,' said the politician. 'In

fact, I had the honour of being the first person to go to him for confession.'

Haha, this one is good too. Where are you getting these from? They seem to contain the same characters.
