  1. The Three Publicans

    Share Share Post
    Three Publicans who were Jews, had their licenses suspended. They became Catholics and attended Mass together for the first time. Their Christian names were Kieran, Christy, and David. When the priest said."Kyre Elison," Kieran jumped to his feet and said, "Thank God my license is restored." Then Christy heard "Christe Elison" and he said "I've got mine also," David kept on waiting for his and he is waiting still.
