    There was a man who couldn't get out of the habit of cursing and he told the Priest he cursed and curse and cursed. So the Priest told him every time he cursed to put a stone in a bag and at the end of the month to bring the bag to him. So at the end of the month he came and when the priest came out he said, "I couldn't fit them in a bag so I brought a car and I'll go back for the other car load."
