Sorrowful Wife

Mary Clancy goes up to Father O'Grady after his Sunday morning service, and she's in tears.

He says, "So what's bothering you, Mary my dear?"

She says, "Oh, Father, I've got terrible news. My husband Paddy passed away last night."

The priest says, "Oh, Mary, that's terrible. Tell me, did he have any last requests?"

She says, "That he did, Father...."

The priest says, "What did he ask, Mary?"

She dropped her head and said, "He said, 'Please Mary, put down that damn gun....'"
