Priest's Retirement Dinner

[Chad]

A Priest was being honored at his retirement dinner after 25
years in the parish.

The Mayor, member of the congregation, was chosen to make the
presentation and to give a little speech at the dinner.

However, he was delayed, so the Priest decided to say his own
few words while they waited:

'I got my first impression of the parish from the first
confession I heard here. I thought I had been assigned to a terrible
place. The very first person who entered my confessional told me he had
stolen a television set and, when questioned by the police, was able to
lie his way out of it. He had stolen money from his parents, embezzled
from his employer, had an affair with his boss's wife, taken illegal
drugs. I was appalled. But as the days went on
I learned that my people were not all like that and I had, indeed, come to
a fine parish full of good and loving people.'


Just then the politician arrived full of apologies at being late.

    He immediately began to talk:

'I'll never forget the first day our parish Priest arrived,'
said the Mayor. 'In fact, I had the honour of being the first person to go
to him for confession.'

Moral : Never, Never, Never Be Late

Or simply the reality about our "elites".
