- Gravy Ladle
In France, the young assistant pastors do not live in the
main rectory. That
is reserved for the pastor and his housekeeper.
One day the pastor invited his new young assistant pastor to
have dinner at
the rectory. While being served, the young pastor noticed
how shapely and
lovely the housekeeper was and he wondered...
After the meal was over, the middle-aged pastor assured the
young priest
that everything was purely professional and that she was the
housekeeper and
cook and that was that.
About a week later the housekeeper came to the pastor and
said, "Father,
ever since the new assistant came for dinner, I have not
been able to find
the beautiful silver gravy ladle. You don't suppose he took
it, do you?"
The pastor said, "Well, I doubt it but I'll write him a
letter." So he
wrote, "Dear Father, I'm not saying that you did take
the gravy ladle and
I'm not saying you did not take the gravy ladle. But the
fact remains that
it has been missing since you were here for dinner."
The young assistant received the letter and he answered it
as follows, "Dear
Father Pastor, I'm not saying that you do sleep with the
housekeeper and I'm
not saying that you do not sleep with the housekeeper. But I
do know for
sure that if you slept in your own bed... you would have
found the gravy
ladle by now!"
