Blimey! The tumbleweed is blowing around in abundance here.

I'll tell you a joke.

At the races a punter watched a priest bless an outsider in the first race, and the horse romped home at 25-1. Before the start of the second race the punter again watched as the priest blessed an outsider, which came in first at 50-1. With the third race looming, the priest again prayed over a runner - this time a 100-1 shot - so the punter sprinted to the tote and put all his money on the horse. It came in last.

Furious, the punter rushed over to the priest complaining he'd lost all his money. The priest looked at him seriously and said 'My son, that's the trouble with you Protestants. You don't know the difference between a blessing and the Last Rites'.

Ha Ha ! Good one

[Androcles]

What are you saying - Blessings are for Catholics and Last Rites for Protestants? He asked, innocently......

[ummmm]

Catholic priests do both but they are big into their last rites. When my Dad was in hospital he was given his 'last rites' 5 times.

Go on then folks, what is your best 'worst-taste' or sick jokes. Impress me lol

[ummmm]

I can't.....this is the religion section. We're being watched by higher powers.

[naomi24]

Quite right ummmm. ;o)

[keyplus90]

I never knew that you can get Catholic and protestant horses as well. But no doubt I did like the joke.

Hard luck, naomi. I presume that you were trying to get something moving again on this long moribund site. I'll try to help by finding something to wake 'em up. (PS: The new Quiz seems very easy so far. What do you think?)

[naomi24]

Go for it Chakka! Dire isn't it - the site I mean - not the quiz. R&S has had its quiet times in the past, but they never lasted as long as this.

Yes, the quiz does seem relatively easy up to yet. I've got about 60 already I think. What about you?

[naomi24]

Here wiz.

"Twas merely the calm before the storm", he quipt watching with renewed anticipation as yet another custard pie emerged from the oven.

[naomi24]

Ha ha! Plenty of sugar in that one. Sperlattt! :o)

[Whickerman]

Excellent that one - well doen (how ya doing Naomi?)

How about this groaner?
Farmer McCarthy lived for many years with only his dog for a companion. One sad day he found his dog dead from old age. He went to his parish priest and asked if services could be said for his dog.
The good father said "oh no, we can't have services for a dog here, but there's a Protestant church down the street that might be wiling."
"Father do you think €5,000 might be enough of a donation?" asked farmer McCarthy. Priest replies: "Ah Jaysus man , why didn't you tell me your dog was a Catholic!"

[naomi24]

I like it!! :o)

Hi Whicker, I'm fine thanks - and trust all's well with you?
