At the regular Sunday morning service,Greek Father
George announced that he was planning to leave for a larger church
that would pay him more. There is a hush within the congregation. No
one wants him to leave, because he is so popular.
Costa, who owns several car dealerships stands up
and proclaims "If Father George stays, I will provide him with a new
Mercedes every year, and his wife with a Honda CRV, to transport their
children!"
The congregation sighs in appreciation and applauds.
Dimitri, a successful businessman and lawyer, stands
and says, "If Father George will stay on here, I'll personally double
his salary, and establish a foundation to guarantee a free university
education for his children!"
More sighs and loud applause
Maria, age 68, stands and announces with a smile,
"If Father George stays, I will give him sex!"
There is total silence.
Father George, blushing, asks her:"Maria, you're a
wonderful and holy lady. Whatever possessed you to say that?"
Maria's 70-year old husband, Vasillis, is now trying
to hide, holding his forehead with the palm of his hand, and shaking
his head from side to side, while his wife replied,
"Well, I just asked my husband how we could help,
and he said: "F**k him."
