Guest bullterrier Posted July 29, 2009 Report Share Posted July 29, 2009 In London an old priest lay dying in the hospital. For years he had faithfully served the people of the nation's capital. He motioned for his nurse to come near. "Yes, Father?" said the nurse. "I would really like to see Prime Minister and the Chancellor of the exchequer before I die", whispered the priest. "I'll see what I can do, Father", replied the nurse. The nurse sent the request to Parliament and waited for a response. Soon the word arrived; Prime Minister Gordon Brown and the Chancellor Alister Darling would be delighted to visit the priest. As they went to the hospital, Gordon commented to Alister, "I don't know why the old priest wants to see us, but it will certainly help our images and might even get me re-elected Prime Minister. After all, I'm IN IT TO WIN IT". Alister agreed that it was a good thing. When they arrived at the priest's room, the priest took Gordon's hand in his right hand and Alister's hand in his left. There was silence and a look of serenity on the old priest's face. Finally Gordon Brown spoke. "Father, of all the people you could have chosen, why did you choose us to be with you as you near the end?" The old priest slowly replied, "I have always tried to pattern my life after our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ." "Amen", said Gordon. "Amen", said Alister. The old priest continued, "Jesus died between two lying thieves; I would like to do the same." Quote Link to post Share on other sites
