- "A Funny Story"
Once upon a time there was a boy who was keeping company with a girl for over twenty years and they were going to get married. He was dying to get a kiss from her, and he did not know how he would ask her for it. So he made up his mind one night to ask her for one so she said "O yes darling you can have two if you like."
So he knelt down and said "For what we are about to receive God's Holy name be praised Amen"
