Priests
Retirement Dinner
A Priest was
being honored at his retirement dinner after 25
years in the parish in the island of Sardegna. A
leading politician and member of the
congregation was chosen to make the presentation
and to give a little speech at the
dinner.
However, since the politician was
delayed, the Priest decided to say his own few
words while they waited:
The priest
said; 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 lots of money, 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 and others, had taken drugs
and had Mafia friends. 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...He
said:
My name is Berlusconi and I'll
never forget the first day our parish Priest
arrived, said the politician. In fact, I had the
honor of being the first person
to go to him for
confession.
Moral: Never,
Never, Ever Be
Late!
