The Dog's Really a Catholic?


Muldoon lived alone in the Irish countryside with
only a pet dog for company. One day the dog died,
and Muldoon went to the parish priest and asked,
"Father, my dog is dead. Could ya' be sayin' a mass
for the poor creature?"

Father Patrick replied, "I'm afraid not; we cannot
have services for an animal in the church. But there
is a new denomination down the lane, and there's
no tellin' what they believe. Maybe they'll do something
for the creature."

Muldoon said, "I'll go right away Father. Do ya' think
$5000 is enough to donate for the service?" Father
Patrick exclaimed, "Sweet Mary, Mother of Jesus!
Why didn't ya' tell me the dog was Catholic?"

Thanks for the joke, it did make me smile.
