A priest decides to take a walk to the pier near
his church. He looks
around and finally stops to watch a fisherman load his boat. The
fisherman notices, and asks the priest if he would like to join
him for a couple
of hours. The priest agrees. The fisherman asks if the priest has
ever
fished before, to which the priest says no. He baits the hook for
him and
says, "Give it a shot father".
After a few minutes, the priest hooks a huge fish and struggles
to get
it in the boat.The fisherman says "Whoa, look at the size of
that
sonofabitch!"
Priest: "Uh, please sir, can you mind your
language?"
Fisherman:(THINKING QUICKLY) "Ermm, I am sorry father, but
that's what
this fish is called - a sonofabitch!"
Priest: "Oh, I'm sorry - I didn't know."
After the trip, the priest brings the fish to the church and
spots the
bishop.
Priest: "Look at this big sonofabitch!"
Bishop: "Please, mind your language, this is a house of
God."
Priest: "No, you don't understand - that's what this fish is
called,
and I caught it. I caught this sonofabitch!"
Bishop: "Hmmm. You know, I could clean this sonofabitch and
we could
have it for dinner."
So the Bishop takes the fish and cleans it, and brings it to the
headmother.
Bishop: "Could you cook this sonofabitch for dinner
tonight?"
Head Mother: "My lord, what language!"
Bishop: "No, sister, that's what the fish is called - a
sonofabitch!
Father caught it, I cleaned it, and we'd like you to cook it.
Head Mother: "Hmmm. Yes, I'll cook that sonofabitch
tonight."
By chance, the Pope stops by for dinner with the three of them,
and
they all think the fish is great. He asks where they got it.
Priest: "I caught the sonofabitch!"
Bishop: "And I cleaned the sonofabitch!"
Head Mother: "And I cooked the sonofabitch!"
The Pope stares at them for a minute with a steely gaze. He then
takes
off his hat, puts his feet up on the table, and says,
"Y'know, you fuckers
are alright."
