Mixed Marriage
Posted: Sun Aug 04, 2013 1:57 amAt a mixed marriage there were three clergymen. Church of Scotland, Roman Catholic and Wee Free. (I think it was a complex family arrangement). However, as Father Jack would say, it was an ecumenical matter.
After the ceremony, at the reception, the three clergymen were discussing ecumenical matters when the waiter came round with the toasts.
The Church of Scotland minister took a dram from the tray, and likewise the Catholic priest. However, when the Wee Free minister was offered the tray he took deep offence, stating "I wouldn't put that stuff in my mouth." and added "I'd rather commit adultery!"
At this juncture, the Catholic priest put his glass of whisky back on the tray and announced "Sorry, I didn't realise there was a choice!"
