An Irish Joke

Joseph O'Flaherty and Zee Flannagan were doin some street repairs in front of a known house of ill-repute in Boston.

A Jewish Rabbi came walkin down the street, looked to the left, looked to right, and ducked into the house.

Joey paused a bit from swingin his pick and said "Zee! Will you look at that! A man of the cloth, and goin into a place like that in broad daylight!".

A bit later, a Baptist minister came down the street, looked to the left, looked to the right, and scurried into the house.

Zee layed down his shovel, turned to Joey and said "Joey! Are you seein what I'm seein? A servant of the Lord, and he's givin that place his custom!"

Just then, a Catholic Priest came down the street, looked to the left, looked to the right, and slipped into the bawdy house.

Joey and Zee straightened up, removed their hats, and Zee says "Come on, join me in a small prayer now will you... there must be somebody seriously ill in there."

ciao.

Word Of The Wolf today is fallible \FAL-uh-bul\,

adjective:
1. Liable to make a mistake.
2. Liable to be inaccurate or erroneous.

"With the torrent of calls for reform against the fallible institution of Catholicism coming from all corners of the world, the Vatican has sent a clear message to the masses by the election of a certain Cardinal Ratzinger as the new pontiff -the Holy Mother Church is unflinching in its stand and will not bend to accomodate the licentiously self-righteous socio-political climate of our times."
