Fact: Easter is the weakest of all holidays in terms of fun and general awesomeness. No time off from work. No office holiday parties. Wearing nice clothes. No presents, at least for someone my age. The only good part is the airing of The Ten Commandments starring that gun-toting Moses character.
Despite all of the holiday's shortfalls, yesterday's Easter Mass delivered beyond all expectations as Reverend Vincent was a regular Don Rickles on the stage, er, altar. He began with this gem:
A couple is killed the day before they were to get married.
They see St. Peter in Heaven and tell him they want to get married.
St. Pete says he'll see what he can do.
Ten years later, St. Pete approaches the couple and says it's time for them to get married.
Not longer after they are married, the couple finds St. Pete and asks for a divorce.
St. Pete says, "It took me ten years to get a preacher up here. How long do you think it will take me to find a lawyer?" ZING!
He ended Mass with some cautionary advice:
"Don't drink and drive. There are alot of cops around."
Awesome. Easter, you just moved up on my list.
Amen.
The Ten Commandments was definitely the highlight of my weekend. I watch it every Holy Saturday. So let itbe written.
