Father Donovan

Every Sunday Father Donovan, a preacher at a small church in the little town of Juniper, MO, tried to make the Bible accessible to his congregation through his sermons.

On this particular Sunday, Father Donovan proclaimed, "If you ever feel adrift in the sea of life, just turn to the Bible for guidance. All life's experiences are immortalized in the good book, and it will help you find your way to shore."

After church Mrs. Francis approached the preacher and said, "Father Donovan, I don't think every life experience is in the Bible. Nowhere in the Bible have I ever read about PMS."

Father Donovan had never heard such a comment, so that night he sifted through the Bible to see if Mrs. Francis was right.

Next Sunday Father Donovan pulled Mrs. Francis aside after church and said, "I wasn't wrong last Sunday when I said that every life experience is mentioned in the Bible."

"Okay, Father. Where does it say anything about PMS?"

Father Donovan opened up his Bible and showed her a passage that read: "And Mary rode Joseph's ass all the way to Bethlehem."

Absolutely perfect! I will have to share this one with my poor Mark. Seems a side effect of my procedure last week is a few weeks of PMS. Poor guy... he'll appreciate this!

Nice! This may become a regular blog to check for me. I need a little more humor in my life since I spend all my time yelling at liberals.

Sylt Ferienwohnung on February 05, 2009 8:16 AM said...

LOL. I think father Donovan was really puzzled where to find the right answer. But I guess it makes him laugh for a while. A good way to tickle the mind of serious church-goers.

Desert Songbird on February 06, 2009 12:42 PM said...

You're damn right she did!
