Kip Powick Posted January 16, 2005 Share Posted January 16, 2005 THE DYING PRIEST An old priest was dying. He sent a message for present Canadian Prime Minister, Paul Martin and past Prime Minister, Jean Chretien to come to his home. When they arrived, they were ushered up to his bedroom. As they entered the room, the clergyman held out his hands and motioned for them to sit on each side of the bed. The priest grasped their hands, sighed contentedly, smiled and stared at the ceiling. For a time, no one said anything. Both Martin and Chretien were touched and flattered that the old priest would ask them to be with him during his final moment. They were also puzzled because the priest had never given any indication that he particularly liked either one of them. Finally, Chretien asked, "Fodder, what for did you hask de two of huss to come 'ere?" The old priest mustered up some strength, then said weakly, "Jesus died between two thieves, and that's how I want to go also." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
