The Priest's Bicycle

Before I start today's post let me say that I have received a number of e-mails about the picture I posted yesterday about a man at the beach. I also received an e-mail from someone I don't know saying that she wants to bequeath me a fortune of $41m to use for charitable purposes. Isn't that wonderful. I've sent her my bank details and I am waiting for the transfer of money.

Anyway, back to the picture. People asked why the man is seen wearing a bra top. Well, I did this because I read somewhere that nipples are sexually attractive or suggestive. Something to do with homogeneous zones or something. So I designed the top with the same material of my swimming trunks. Unfortunately when I am in the water the top slides off revealing my nipples. I have noticed some women looking at me and smiling. Thus proving my point.

Now let's get on with today's story.

Once upon a time there was a priest who used a bicycle to go everywhere in his parish in order to save money and to save the planet. He even cycled all the way to another town when he had to see the bishop.

One day his bicycle was stolen. He rang the bishop to explain why he could not visit.

The bishop suggested that on Sunday he delivers a sermon on the Ten Commandments. "Read each Commandment in turn," he advised, "and then talk a little about each one. When you get to the seventh Commandment shout out loud THOU SHALT NOT STEAL, and then watch the congregation to see if anyone winces or shrinks in his seat, or looks down shamefully, or tries to leave. He is your thief"

The following week the priest cycled to the bishop. The bishop greeted him and said, "I see you got your bicycle back. Did you catch the thief?"

The priest replied, "actually, when I got to the sixth Commandment, Thou Shalt Not Commit Adultery, I remembered where I left my bicycle!"
