A local priest was being honored at his retirement dinner after 25 years in
the parish. 

A leading local politician and member of the congregation was chosen to make
the presentation and to give a little speech at the dinner.

However, he was delayed so the priest decided to say his own few words while
they waited:

“I got my first impression of the parish from the first confession I heard
here.  I thought I had been assigned to a terrible place. The very first
person who entered my confessional told me he had stolen a television set
and, when questioned by the police, was able to lie his way out of it. He
had also stolen money from his parents, embezzled from his employer, had an
affair with his best friend’s wife, and taken illicit drugs. I was appalled.

“But as the days went on I learned that my people were not all like that and
I had, indeed, come to a fine parish full of good and loving people.”

Just as the priest finished his talk, the politician arrived full of
apologies for being late. He immediately began to make the presentation and
said: “I’ll never forget the first day our parish priest arrived. In fact, I
had the honor of being the first person to go to him for confession.”

Moral: Never, never, NEVER-EVER be late.
