Now that my computer is up & running ok,

Today's FEEBLE attempt at humor:

A parish priest was being honored at a dinner on the
twenty-fifth anniversary of his arrival in that parish.
A leading local politician, who was a member of the
congregation, was chosen to make the presentation and
give a little speech at the dinner, but he was delayed in
traffic, so the priest decided to say his own few words
while they waited.

"You will understand," he said, "the seal of the confessional,
can never be broken. However, I got my first impressions
of the parish from the first confession I heard here. I can
only hint vaguely about this, but when I came here
twenty-five years ago I thought I had been assigned
to a terrible place. The very first chap who entered my
confessional told me how he had stolen a television set,
and when stopped by the police, had almost murdered
the officer. Further, he told me he had embezzled money
from his place of business and had an affair with his
boss's wife. I was appalled. But as the days went on I
knew that my people were not all like that, and I had,
indeed come to, a fine parish full of understanding and
loving people."

Just as the priest finished his talk, the politician arrived
full of apologies at being late. He immediately began to
make the presentation and give his talk.

"I'll never forget the first day our parish priest arrived in
this parish," said the politician. "In fact, I had the honor
of being the first one to go to him in confession."
