Vow of Silence

At a remote monastery deep in the woods, the monks followed a rigid vow of silence. This vow could only be broken once a year on Christmas, by one monk, and the monk could speak only one sentence.

One Christmas, Brother Thomas had his turn to speak and said:

- I love the delightful mashed potatoes we have every year with the Christmas roast!

Then he sat down. Silence ensued for 365 days.

The next Christmas, Brother Michael got his turn, and said:

- I think the mashed potatoes are lumpy and I truly despise them!

Once again, silence ensued for 365 days.

The following Christmas, Brother Paul rose and said:

- I am fed up with this constant bickering!

Chapter Eleven

Two old friends met one day after many years. One attended college, and now was very successful. The other had not attended college and never had much ambition.

The successful one said:

- How has everything been going with you?

- Well, one day I opened the Bible at random, and dropped my finger on a word and it was oil. So, I invested in oil, and boy, did the oil wells gush. Then another day I dropped my finger on another word and it was gold. So, I invested in gold and those mines really produced. Now, I'm as rich as Rockefeller.

The successful friend was so impressed that he rushed to his hotel, grabbed a Gideon Bible, flipped it open, and dropped his finger on a page. He opened his eyes and…

Signs on the Highway

A man was driving down the highway, and sees a sign saying ", House of Prostitution, 10 miles".

Still unsure, he drives on, until spotting a third sign saying "Sister's of Mercy, House of Prostitution, next exit".

- I saw your signs on the highway, are they for real?

The nun answers "Yes", and tells him to give her $50 and follow her to a room. He enters a room, and a second nun requests $50, and…

Subway Seatmate

A man who smelled like a distillery flopped on a subway seat next to a priest. The man's tie was stained, his face was plastered with red lipstick, and a half-empty bottle of gin was sticking out of his torn coat pocket. He opened his newspaper and began reading.

After a few minutes the disheveled guy turned to the priest and asked:

- Say, Father, what causes arthritis?

- Mister, it's caused by loose living, being with cheap, wicked women, too much alcohol, and a contempt for your fellow man.

- Wow - the drunk muttered, returning to his paper.

The priest, thinking about what he had said, nudged the man and apologized.

- I'm very sorry, I didn't mean to come on so strong. How long have you had…

- Over the years, I haven't been completely faithful to you.
