A new priest was about to say his first mass but was so nervous he could hardly speak. So he sought the advice of the monsignor, who told him, "When I am worried about getting nervous on the pulpit, I put a glass of vodka next to the water glass. If I start to get nervous, I take a sip."
So the next Sunday he took the monsignor's advice. Right before he started mass, he began to feel nervous, so he took a sip. He calmed down almost immediately. So whenever he nerves occasionally came back, he took small sips. By the time he reached the sermon, he has taken several sips. Feeling good, he proceeded to talk up a storm. Upon return to his office after mass, he found the following note on his door:
1.Sip the Vodka, don't gulp.
2.There are 10 commandments, not 12.
3.There are 12 disciples, not 10.
4.Jesus was consecrated, not constipated.
5.Jacob wagered his donkey, he did not bet his ass.
6.We do not refer to Jesus Christ as the late J.C.
7.The Father, Son, and Holy Ghost are not referred to as Daddy, Junior, and Spook.
8.David slew Goliath, he did not kick the shit out of him.
9.When David was hit by a rock and was knocked off his donkey, don't say he was stoned off his ass.
10.We do not refer to the cross as the Big T.
11.When Jesus broke the bread at the Last Supper he said, "Take this and eat it, for it is my body", he did not say, "Eat me."
12.The Virgin Mary is not referred to as the, "Mary with the Cherry."
13.The recommended grace before a meal is not: "Rub-A-dub-dub, thanks for the grub, yeah God."
14.Next Sunday there will be a taffy-pulling contest at St. Peter's, not a peter-pulling contest at St. Taffy's.
