New Roof

The roof of the chapel was leaking and the priest asked for volunteers to raise funds for its repair. Mike offered his services. About a week later,the priest met Mike who was straggling from side to side as a result of having imbibed too freely.

Mike was apologetic. "I'm collecting for the roof, Father," he said. "Every one of the neighbours I called on insisted on giving me a wee drop after paying his subscription."

The priest was shocked. "Are there no teetotallers in the parish, Mike?"

"Oh, yes, to be sure, Father." said Mike. " I've written to them."
