“A Protestant woman once insulted a priest.”
A Protestant woman once insulted a priest. He told her that her father was damned. A few weeks after the priest and an altar boy went to the woman’s house to say a Mass. When the Mass was over the priest said prayers and then he whistled. He prayed again and whistled and prayed again and whistled. Then a bull came up the road and when the door was opened a man came in.
“Where were you when I whistled first”, said the priest, “I was tied down in chains”,
said the man, “Where were you when I whistled the second time”, “They were opening the chains”, “Where were you when I whistled the third time”, “I was coming here”. After a week the sent him away.
