Overheard in the Sacristy

What would you get if you crossed a patriot with a small curly-haired dog?
Yankee Poodle!

Pope Benedict XVI, wearing a ‘Saturno’ hat, inspired by the ringed planet Saturn, acknowledges faithful during his weekly general audience in St. Peter’s Square at the Vatican, Wednesday, June 18, 2008. The pontiff sometimes wears the ‘Saturno’ hat to shield himself from the sun.

A reader emailed me these:

Bible

A little boy opened the big family Bible. He was fascinated as he fingered through the old pages. Suddenly, something fell out of the Bible. He picked up the object and looked at it. What he saw was an old leaf that had been pressed in between the pages. ‘Mama, look what I found,’ the boy called out. ‘What have you got there, dear?’ With astonishment in the young boy’s voice, he answered, ‘I think it’s Adam’s underwear!’

Death

While walking along the sidewalk in front of his church, our minister heard the intoning of a prayer that nearly made his collar wilt. Apparently, his 5-year-old son and his playmates had found a dead robin. Feeling that proper burial should be performed, they had secured a small box and cotton batting, then dug a hole and made ready for the disposal of the deceased. The minister’s son was chosen to say the appropriate prayers and with sonorous dignity intoned his version of what he thought his father always said: ‘Glory be unto the Faaather, and unto the Sonnn, and into the hole he goooes.’

Thanks, Tracy!
