There was a priest who was drowning in the ocean. He called out to God for help.
All of a sudden, a canoe came and the guy said “Father, let me help you”.
The priest replied “No, no my son. The Lord will save me.

The yacht leaves and the father is calling out to God again. All of a sudden, a big cruise ship showed up. The captain said with a megaphone “Father,let us help you”. The priest again replied “No my son, the Lord will save me.

It was Friday, and four nuns went to the priest at the local Catholic church to ask for the weekend off. They argued back and forth for a few minutes. Finally the priest agreed to let them leave the convent for the weekend. “However”, he said, “as soon as you get back Monday morning I want you to confess to me what you did over the weekend.” The four nuns agree, and ran off.

Monday comes, and the four nuns return. The first nun goes to the priest and says, “Forgive me, Father, for I have sinned.” The priest asks, “What did you do, Sister?” She replies, “I watched an R-rated movie.” The priest looks up at heaven for a few seconds, then replies, “You are forgiven. Go and drink the holy water.” The first nun leaves, and the fourth nun begins to chuckle quietly under her breath.

The second nun then goes up to the priest and says, “Forgive me, Father, for I have sinned.” The priest replies, “OK, what happened?” She says, “I was driving my brother’s car down the street in front of his house, and I hit a neighbors dog and killed it.” The priest looks up to heaven for half a minute, then says, “You are forgiven. Go and drink the holy water.” The second nun goes out. By this time, the fourth nun is laughing quite audibly.

Then the third nun walks to the priest and says, “Forgive me, Father, for I have sinned.” The priest asks, “Out with it. What did you do?” She says, “Last night, I ran naked up and down Main Street.” The priest looks up at heaven for a full five minutes before responding, “God forgives you. Go and drink the holy water.” She leaves.

The fourth nun falls on the floor, laughing so hard tears run down her cheeks. The priest asks her, “OK. What did you do that was so darn funny?” The fourth nun replies, “I peed in the holy water…”

During the French revolution, hundreds of people were guillotined. One day, three men were led up to die. One was a lawyer, one was a doctor, and the third was an engineer.
The lawyer was to die first. He was led to the guillotine, the attending priest blessed him, and he knelt with his head on the guillotine. The blade was released, but stopped halfway down its path. The priest, seeing an opportunity, quickly said, “Gentlemen, God has spoken and said this man is to be spared; we cannot kill him.” The executioner agreed, and the lawyer was set free.
The doctor was next. He was blessed by the priest, then knelt and placed his head down. The blade was released, and again stopped halfway down. Again the priest intervened: “Gentlemen, God has again spoken; we cannot kill this man.” The executioner agreed and the doctor was set free.
At last it was the engineer’s turn. He was blessed by the priest, and knelt, but before he placed his head on the guillotine he looked up. Suddenly, he leapt to his feet and cried, “Oh, I see the problem!”

The preacher was very distraught after the death of the bell ringer the day before and didn’t know what to do. He began the search for another bell ringer. Many people tried, but none could match the talents of the bell ringer he had before.

Finally, when the priest had all but given up hope, an armless man came to apply for the job. The priest was ready to turn him away, how could an armless man do justice to the bells of his church?

The man pleaded with him and told him he was the brother of the man who died the day before. When the priest heard that he decided that out of respect for his brother he must allow him to try.

The man thanked the priest and began to throw his shoulder into the bell. The priest could hardly believe the wonderful tones coming from the bells. As the priest was about to appoint him the bell ringer the man ran once more for the bell. But this time he tripped and fell to his death on the street.

The priest ran out and a large crowd had gathered. Someone shouted “Does any one know this man? ”

To which the priest replied, ” I don’t know his name but he’s a dead ringer for his brother”
