THE PICNIC
Contributed by Nick V.
A Jewish Rabbi and a Catholic Priest met at the town's annual 4th of
July picnic. Old friends, they began their usual banter.
"This baked ham is really delicious," the priest teased the rabbi.
"You really ought to try it. I know it's against your religion, but I
can't understand why such a wonderful food should be forbidden! You
don't know what you're missing. You just haven't lived until you've
tried Mrs. Hall's prized Virginia Baked Ham. Tell me, Rabbi, when are
you going to break down and try it?"
The rabbi looked at the priest with a big grin, and said, "At your wedding."

Last Saturday afternoon, in Washington , D.C. , an aide to the former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi visited the Bishop of the Catholic cathedral in D.C. He told the Cardinal that Nancy Pelosi would be attending the next day's Mass, and he asked if the Cardinal would kindly point out Pelosi to the congregation and say a few words that would include calling Pelosi a saint.
Last Saturday afternoon, in Washington , D.C. , an aide to the former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi visited the Bishop of the Catholic cathedral in D.C. He told the Cardinal that Nancy Pelosi would be attending the next day's Mass, and he asked if the Cardinal would kindly point out Pelosi to the congregation and say a few words that would include calling Pelosi a saint.
The Cardinal replied, "No. I don't
really like the woman, and there are issues of conflict with the Catholic
Church over certain of Pelosi's views."
Pelosi's aide then said, "Look, I'll
write a check here and now for a donation of $100,000 to your church if
you'll just tell the
congregation you see Pelosi as a saint."
The Cardinal thought about it and said, "Well, the church can use the money, so I'll work your request into tomorrow's sermon."
congregation you see Pelosi as a saint."
The Cardinal thought about it and said, "Well, the church can use the money, so I'll work your request into tomorrow's sermon."
As Pelosi's aide promised, Nancy Pelosi appeared for the Sunday Mass and seated herself prominently at the forward left side of the center aisle.
As promised,-- at the start of his sermon, the Cardinal pointed out that Nancy Pelosi was present.
The
Cardinal went on to explain to the congregation, "While Nancy Pelosi's
presence is probably an honor to some, the woman is not numbered among my
personal favorite personages. Some of her most egregious views are contrary
to tenets of the Church, and she tends to flip- flop on many other issues.
Nancy Pelosi is a petty, self -absorbed hypocrite, a thumb sucker, and a
nit-wit. Nancy Pelosi is
also a serial liar, a cheat, and a thief. I must say, Nancy Pelosi is the worst example of a Catholic I have ever personally witnessed. She married for money and is using her wealth to lie to the American people. She also has a reputation for shirking her Representative obligations both in Washington , and in California . The woman is simply not to be trusted."

The Cardinal concluded, "But, when compared with President Obama, Nancy Pelosi is a saint!"

WHY GO TO CHURCH?
Contributed by Nick V.
One Sunday morning, a mother went in to wake her son and tell him it
was time to get ready for church, to which he replied, "I'm not
going."
"Why not?" she asked.
I'll give you two good reasons," he said. "(1), they don't like me,
and (2), I don't like them."
His mother replied, "I'll give you two good reasons why you SHOULD go
to church:
(1) You're 59 years old, and (2) you're the pastor!"
