A priest decides one mid weekday to visit one
of his elderly parishoners, Mrs. Smith. He rings
the doorbell and Mrs. Smith appears.
"Good Day Mrs. Smith. I just thought I would
drop by and see how your are doing." The woman
says, "Oh just fine Father, come on in and we'll
have some tea."
While sitting at the coffee table, the priest
notices a bowl of almonds on the table. "Mind
if I have one?" the priest says.
"Not at all, have as many as you like".
After a few hours the priest looks at his watch
and alarmed at how long he has been visiting
says to Mrs. Smith, "Oh my goodness, look at
the time. I must be going. Oh but dear me I have
eaten all your almonds. I'll have to replace
them next time I visit."
To which Mrs. Smith replied, "Oh don't bother
Father. Ever since I lost all my teeth, it's
all I can do just to lick the chocolate off them."
