From the Gruntled Center (Beau Weston): A Satirist's Dream. Years ago, before I got married, I shared an apartment with a guy who was a Christian Ed. Director at a Catholic Church. I thought I had heard all the Catholic Jokes there were. Now Beau Weston has blogged not one but two jokes I haven't heard before:
The Holy Trinity won a free trip and had to decide where to go.
God the Father said he would like to go to Africa,
Jesus to Palestine, and
the Holy Spirit to the Vatican.
Asked why, the Holy Spirit responded: “Because I’ve never been there.”
And:
Jesus calls the Pope on the phone.
Pope: "Jesus, Hallelujah! To what do I owe the honor of this call?"
Jesus: "Well, I've got some good news and some bad news. The good news is that I am back."
Pope: "And the bad news?"
Jesus: "I'm calling from Salt Lake City."
(As an editorial comment, we in Kansas City know, of course, that the Mormons believe it will be Independence, MO, not Salt Lake, but the joke still works.)
One joke I remember my roommate Dan told was about the woman caught in adultery. He claims the apostles edited the story because what really happened was quite awkward. Jesus was writing in the sand and said, "If any one of you is without sin, let him be the first to throw a stone at her." Suddenly, from out of nowhere, a rock came sailing in, hit the woman in the head, and killed her instantly. With great exasperation, Jesus rose to his feet and said, "Mother! I was trying to make a point!"
