candles

[davidhodgkinson]

Mrs. O'Donovan was walking down O'Connell Street in Dublin, and coming in the opposite direction was Father O'Rafferty.

"Hello," said the Father, "And how is Mrs. O'Donovan? Didn't I marry you two years ago?"

She replied "You did that, Father."

"And are there any little ones yet?"

"No, not yet, Father," said she.

"Well now, I'm going to Rome next week, and I'll light a candle for you."

"Thank you, Father." And away she went.

A few years later they met again.

"Well now, Mrs. O'Donovan," said the Father, "how are you?"

"Oh, very well," said she.

"And tell me," he said, "have you any little ones yet?"

"Oh yes, Father. I've had three sets of twins, and four singles -- ten in all."

"Now isn't that wonderful," he said

"And how is your lovely husband?"

"Oh," she said, "he's gone to Rome to blow out that f------- candle!"

didnt really get that one

Well the candle was lit as a kind of good luck charm for them having kids, and as a kind of sign of fertility. Now, we've already read the couple have 10 kids, and we all know blokes hate kids. So he went to blow out the candle that brought them on.

I suppose logically, he should just use a jonnie.

Well the pope condemn's contraception so that can't be used beez

[beez]

ok the first step of logic is to use your common sense

Doing so would tell you that religion is a load of shite, and condoms are the way forward (if you don't want babies)
