- Some time ago a priest was administering the last Sacraments to a man subject to drink.
He told the priest that he'd never again taste a drop. When the priest was finishing "The Our Father" over the sick man, the latter asked him to say it again. The priest did so, and had to repeat it a third, fourth, and a fifth time. He was getting tired of saying it so many times, and wondering why the man wanted him to say it so often, asked, "do you like that prayer". "No" said the man, "that's not the reason;- 'tis the grand smell of your breath I like".- Collector
