Martini

[Ray S S]

Father O'Brian, a young priest, was sent to a very
small church in the backwoods of Alaska. After a
couple of years the Bishop decided to pay the priest
a visit to see how he was doing.

Father O'Brian said, "This is a very lonely job and
I don't think I could have made it this long without
my Rosary and two martinis a day."

"What?" exclaimed the Bishop, "You've taken to drinking?"
What kind of example is that to set for the community?
That doesn't reflect well on the church."

"But the lonelyness. I juswt couldn't stand it. If it
wasn't for my Rosary and those two martinis a day,
I would have surely gone insane."

The Bishop thought for a moment, then said, "I guess
that is understandable, considering......

With that the priest said to the Bishop,"Would you
like to have a martini with me?"

The Bishop said, "Well, I really shouldn't but....
Yes that would be nice. I think I will, but just
this once."

The priest turned around and hollered, "Hey, Rosary,
would you fix us two martinis, please?"
