Father Murphy , the elderly priest, speaking to the younger Father Clancy, said, "It was a good idea to replace the first four pews with plush bucket theater seats. It worked. The front of the church fills first."

Fr. Clancy nodded, & the elderly priest continued, "And you told me a little more beat to the music would bring young people back to church, so I supported you when you brought in the rock 'n roll gospel choir. We are packed to the balcony."

"Thank you, Father," answered Fr. Clancy, "I am pleased you are open to the new ideas of youth."

"Well", said Fr Murphy, "I'm afraid you've gone too far with the drive-thru Confessional".

"But father", protested the young priest. "My confessions have nearly doubled since I began that!"

"I know son," replied Fr. Murphy, " But that flashing neon sign, "Toot 'n Tell or Go to Hell", can't stay on the church roof!"

A priest in Ballarat had been a professional musician before he was ordained. As a student he used to make pocket money by playing one of the few theater organs left. He bought a tiny keyboard – one of the ones that seemed to have an endless range of imitating other instruments.
He took it to a Mothers' Union meeting and played all sorts of music on it. Next Sunday in the pew notes was a report of the meeting. It concluded with...

The Vicar spent the last half hour of the meeting entertaining the ladies with his little organ. They were all delighted, and are hoping that he will come again next month.

The doctor, lawyer and minister were called to the dying miser's bedside. The miser said, "I'm going to take it all with me - I have $90,000 cash. There's $30,000 for each one of you. Just before they fill in my grave, put the cash in the hole with me and that way no one will get it!" The miser died the next week and the 3 men did as he wished. After the funeral they went out for coffee. The doctor said, "I have a confession to make. I had a malpractice suit this week, so I kept $10,000 out to pay for it." The lawyer said, "I have a confession, too. I paid for a new boat, so I only put in $10,000 and kept $20,000 for myself." The minister was appalled. "I'll have you know that I put in my PERSONAL CHECK for the full amount!"

OK, I admit, it's not a WA thing, I was just slow on the uptake this time.
Will try not to let it happen again.
cheers
