A long time ago in Greece, there was an Orthodox priest who over the years grew to be bothered by all the fuss made over him after worship services. He was a quiet man who releshed his privacy and so devised a way to make a hasty retreat after every sermon:

He would tether his donkey just outside the rectory window and when he was done with the service he would vault out the window onto his donkey and ride away to his home.

On Easter Sunday the parishioners decided to bake a lamb the old fashioned way in a fire pit. The only place to do this was in the alley next to the church, so they moved the priest's donkey over to the side a little dug their pit, lined it with rocks and laid the fire for their Easter feast.

The Easter service dragged on and on, it being a solemn occassion and before the incence had died away the priest dashed to the window and leaping without looking he landed square in the firepit.

The moral?











Sometimes even an Orthodox priest doesn't know his ass from a hole in the ground.

That's what I was thinking of her "priest." And you'd think they'd have some inside track being that they speak Greek, but they are blinded.
