Okay, I'm going to have to spoiler this information because I'm not supposed to let outsiders know about this. But I can't keep it to myself anymore. I just have to be careful, or the Inquisition will be coming after me. :fear::fear:

 

 

:hush: This information is for Catholics only. It must not be divulged to non-Catholics. The less they know about our rituals and top secret code words, the better off they are. :hush:

 

AMEN: The only part of a prayer that everyone knows.

 

BULLETIN: Your receipt for attending Mass.

 

CHOIR: A group of people whose singing allows the rest of the Parish to lip-sync.

 

HOLY WATER: A liquid whose chemical formula is H2OLY. Created by boiling the HELL out of it.

 

HYMN: A song of praise usually sung in a key three octaves higher than that of the congregation's range.

 

RECESSIONAL HYMN: The last song at Mass often sung a little more quietly, since most of the people have already left.

 

INCENSE: Holy Smoke!

 

JESUITS: An order of priests known for their ability to find colleges with good basketball teams.

 

JONAH: The original 'Jaws' story.

 

JUSTICE: When kids have kids of their own.

 

KYRIE ELEISON: The only Greek words that most Catholics can recognize besides gyros and baklava. (for you non-Catholics it means Lord have mercy)

 

MAGI: The most famous trio to attend a baby shower.

 

MANGER: Where Mary gave birth to Jesus because Joseph wasn't covered by an HMO. (The Bible's way of showing us that holiday travel has always been rough.)

 

PEW: A medieval torture device still found in Catholic churches.

 

PROCESSION: The ceremonial formation at the beginning of Mass consisting of altar servers, the celebrant, and late parishioners looking for seats.

 

RECESSIONAL: The ceremonial procession at the conclusion of Mass led by parishioners trying to beat the crowd to the parking lot.

 

RELICS: People who have been going to Mass for so long, they actually know when to sit, kneel, and stand.

 

TEN COMMANDMENTS: The most important Top Ten list not given by David Letterman.

 

USHERS: The only people in the parish who don't know the seating capacity of a pew.

 

Little known facts about the Catholic Church in Las Vegas:

 

There are more churches in Las Vegas than casinos. During Sunday services at the offertory, some worshipers contribute casino chips as opposed to cash.. Some are sharing their winnings - some are hoping to win. Since they get chips from so many different casinos, and they are worth money, the Catholic churches are required to send all the chips into the diocese for sorting. Once sorted into the respective casino chips, one junior priest takes the chips and makes the rounds to the casinos turning chips into cash. And he, of course, is known as The Chip Monk.

Re: Jokes

 

A local United Way office realized that the organization had never received a donation from the town's most successful lawyer. The person in charge of contributions called him to persuade him to contribute.

 

"Our research shows that out of a yearly income of at least $500,000, you give not a penny to charity. Wouldn't you like to give back to the community in some way?"

 

The lawyer mulled this over for a moment and replied, "First, did your research also show that my mother is dying after a long illness, and has medical bills that are several times her annual income?"

 

Embarrassed, the United Way rep mumbled, "Um ... no."

 

The lawyer interrupts, "or that my brother, a disabled veteran, is blind and confined to a wheelchair?"

 

The stricken United Way rep began to stammer out an apology, but was interrupted again.

 

"or that my sister's husband died in a traffic accident," the lawyer's voice rising in indignation, "leaving her penniless with three children?!"

 

The humiliated United Way rep, completely beaten, said simply, "I had no idea..."

 

 

On a roll, the lawyer cut him off once again, "So if I don't give any money to them, why should I give any to you?"

 

 

---

 

One afternoon, a wealthy lawyer was riding in the back of his limousine when he saw two pathetic-looking men by the side of the road, eating grass. He ordered his driver to stop and got out to investigate. He asked the men, "Why are you eating grass?"

 

"We don't have no money for food," the first man replied.

 

 

"Then you must come with me to my house," insisted the lawyer.

 

"But, sir, I got a wife and three kids here," said the man.

 

"Bring them along!" replied the lawyer.

 

The second man exclaimed, "I got a wife and six kids!"

 

"Bring them as well!", the lawyer proclaimed as he headed back to his limo.

 

They all climbed into the car, and once underway, one of the men expresses, "Sir, you are too kind. Thank you for taking all of us with you."

 

 

The lawyer replied, "I'm most happy to do it. You'll love my place. The grass is almost a foot tall."

Re: Jokes

 

Most people don't realize that Windows is actually an acronym: Will Install Needless Data Over Whole System

 

Macintosh is an acronym, too: Most Applications Crash; If Not, The Operating System Hangs

I thought the joke was just "Windows" (or the uptodate version "Windows 8") & the Mac joke had truthiness before Mac OS X.

Re: Jokes

 

Just last night, I was at a restaurant, and there was a sign in the restroom that said "Employees Must Wash Hands." I waited for nearly a half-hour. No employee showed up to wash my hands. Even when I tracked one down and insisted, they did it begrudgingly, and let's just say, it was a less-than-thorough job.
