A priest decides one mid weekday to visit one of his elderly parishoners, Mrs. Smith. He rings the door bell and Mrs. Smith appears. "Good Day Mrs. Smith. I just thought I would drop by and see how your are doing." The woman says, "Oh just fine Father, come on in and we`ll have some tea." While sitting a the coffee table, the priest notices a bowl of almonds on the table. "Mind if I have one?", the priest says. "Not at all, have as many as you like". After a few hours the priest looks at his watch and alarmed at how long he has been visting says to Mrs Smith, "Oh my goodness, look at the time. I must be going. Oh dear, I`ve eaten all your almonds. I`ll have to replace them next time I visit." To which Mrs Smith replied, "Oh don`t bother, Father. Ever since I lost all my teeth, it`s all I can do just to lick the chocolate off them." |
