The mothers of four priests got together and were discussing their sons. "My son is a monsignor," said the first proud woman. "When he enters a room, people say, 'Hello, Monsignor.'"
The second mother went on, "My son is a bishop. When he enters a room, people say, 'Hello, Your Excellency.'"
"My son is a cardinal." continued the next one. "When he enters a room, people say, 'Hello, Your Eminence.'"
The fourth mother thought for a moment. "My son is six-foot-ten and weighs 300 pounds," she said, "When he enters a room, people say, 'Oh, my God.'"
四個神職人員的母親聚在一起談論自己的兒子。“我兒子是個牧師,”第一個驕傲的母親說,“當他走進一個房間時,人們會說,‘您好,牧師。”
第二個母親接著說,“我兒子是個主教,當他走進一個房間時,人們會說,‘您好,主教閣下。”
“我兒子是紅衣主教,”第三個母親繼續(xù),“當他走進一個房間時,人們會說,‘您好,尊敬的紅衣主教。”
第四個母親想了一會兒,說:“我兒子身高6尺10吋,體重300磅,當他走進一個房間時,人們都說,‘哦,我的上帝!”
