A ninety-two year old priest was venerated by everyone in town. When he appeared
on the streets people would bow low such was the man’s reputation for holiness. He
was also a member of the Rotary Club. Every time the Club met he would be there,
always on time and always seated at his favourite spot in a corner of the room
One day the priest disappeared. It was as if he vanished into thin air because,
search as they might, the townsfolk could find no trace of him. The following
month, however, when the Rotary Club met, there he was as usual, sitting in his
corner.
“But, Father.” everyone cried, ‘’where have you been?” “In prison.” said Father
calmly. “In prison? For heaven’s sake you couldn’t hurt a fly! What happened?”
“It’s a long story,” said the priest, “but. briefly, this is what happened: I
bought myself a train ticket to the city and was waiting on the platform for the
train to arrive when this stunningly beautiful girl appears on the arm of a
policeman She looks me over, turns to the cop and say. “He did it.” And to tell
you the truth I was so flattered. I pleaded guilty “
