The golfing priest.?!
Question: One Saturday Father O'Reilly phones up an old friend and says,
"Oh father Mulligan, I am feeling a little unwell this evening as I am suffering from a chest infection. Could you perform the Sunday Services for me tomorrow?"
His friend says of course, and he'll call in on him.
"Oh no, please don't do that Father Mulligan, it's highly infectious. I have everything I need round about me, I think a day of complete quiet and repose will help me enormously, and don't tell the congregation whatever you do, or I'll be pestered all day with blooming bowls of soup!"
The two men laugh uproariously at this and Father Mulligan says it wil be a pleasure, he'll just say that our priest was called to a dear friend's bedside in England.
"Thank you Father Mulligan, you know I can't stand people fussing around me."
So the next day our wily Father O'Reilly gets up very early, changes into his golf gear and slips over unseen to the golf course!
Perfect! A whole golf course to himself, with everyone preparing to go to church. The air is lovely and fresh, the little birds are twittering in the skies and he can enjoy a morning of perfect peace. He prepares his tee.
Meanwhile St Peter and God are watching him.
"God, you are not going to allow him to get away with this surely?"
"Certainly not." whispers God. "Watch!"
Father O'Reilly hits the ball, it arcs beautifully in the sky, hurtles down and then plop! A 450 yard hole in one!!!! Not only that, but his first ever hole in one!
"How is that punishing him?" asks the astonished St Peter.
God grins, "And who is he going to tell?"
