"All that glitters is not Gold"
A humorous perspective:
Some priests decided to go to Hawaii on vacation. They were determined to make this a real vacation by not wearing anything that would identify them as clergy. As soon as the plane landed, they headed for a store and bought some really outrageous shorts, shirts, sandals, sunglasses, etc.
The next morning they went to the beach dressed in their 'tourist' garb. They were sitting on beach chairs, enjoying a drink, the sunshine and the scenery when a 'drop dead gorgeous' blonde in a tiny bikini came walking straight towards them. They couldn't help but stare. As the blonde passed them, she smiled and said, "Good morning, Father, and "Good morning, Fathers," nodding and addressing each of them individually, then passed on by.
They were all stunned. How in the world did she know they were priests?
The next day, they went back to the store, bought even more outrageous outfits. These were so loud, you could hear them before you even saw them. Once again, they settled on the beach in their chairs to enjoy the sunshine. After a while, the same gorgeous blonde - wearing a string bikini this time came walking toward them. Again she approached them and greeted them individually: "Good morning, Father," and "Good morning,
Fathers," and started to walk away.
One of the priests couldn't stand it and said, "Just a minute, young lady."
"Yes," she replied.
"We are priests, and proud of it, but I have to know: how in the world did you know we are priests?"
"Father" she said, "It's me, Sister Helen" |
