Father Flanagan a priest over in Ireland was always running down the English.
He would renounce his congregation of sinners by yelling, "If you don't
act better your all going to hell with the ENGLISHMEN!"
One day the bishop called him in, and told him that if he didn't stop
denouncing the English, he would be demoted and transferred.
The priest agreed, and in his next sermon, he told the story of the
betrayal of Jesus.
"Jesus looked at all of the apostles one at a time and said 'TONIGHT,
ONE OF YOU WILL BETRAY ME!'"
"Peter said, 'Its not I is it master?"
"Jesus just looked at Judas"
"Judas, realizing the steady gaze of THE LORD upon him said, ''Cor blimey guvnor, you wouldn't think it was me would you?"
