Joe and David are walking from religious service. Joe wonders whether it would be all right to smoke while praying. David replies, “Why don’t you ask the Priest?” So Joe goes up to the Priest and asks, “Father, may I smoke while I pray?” The Priest replies, “No, my son, you may not! That’s utter disrespect to our religion.” Joe goes back to his friend and tells him what the good Priest told him. David says, “I’m not surprised. You asked the wrong question. Let me try.” And so David goes up to the Priest and asks, “Father, may I pray while I smoke?” To which the Priest eagerly replies, “By all means, my son. By all means. You can always pray whenever you want to.” |
