    Once upon a time a priest was walking on the road and he saw a boy. He asked what he was doing. The boy replied that he was digging potatoes. The priest asked him if there was any special name on the potatoes, the boy replied that was Protestants.
    The priest then asked him which religion was he. The boy replied that he was a Catholic and the priest asked do Catholics eat "Protestants" potatoes. The boy replied that they do but they boil the devil out of them first.
