Before performing a baptism, the priest approached the young father and said solemnly, "Baptism is a serious step. Are you prepared for it?"
"I think so," the man replied. "My wife made appetizers last night and we have a caterer coming this morning with roast beef, fried chicken
and potato salad."
"I don't mean that," the priest responded. "I mean, are you prepared spiritually?"
"Sure," came the reply. "I've got a keg of beer and a case of bourbon." |
