Did you hear about the Roman Catholic who asked his priest to call on him.
"What's the matter, my son?"
"Father," he said, "I'm dying."
"Oh, my word! I'm so sorry."
"That's okay, Father, I've come to terms with it. But I want to ask you
something. I want you to help me to convert to Protestantism."
"Whatever for?" asked the priest.
"Well, isn't it better that one of them dies instead of one of us?" ANON
