A Truly Terrible Joke

From my dear friend Fran:

Two cops see a car weaving erratically on the road ahead, so they pursue and stop the auto. One of the cops walks over to the vehicle and sees a plain plastic sports bottle on the seat next to the driver. The driver just happens to be a priest - collar and all.

The cop says "Father - I need to see your license and registration." So the priest hands it over without comment. The cop then asks if the priest has been drinking, to which the priest replies "No!". Then the cop proceeds to ask the priest about the sports bottle on the passenger seat and the priest says that it is "just water." The cop doesn't believe him, but goes back to the patrol car to run the license and so forth.

When he finds no prior offenses, he and the other cop saunter back to Father's car. The other cop then asks to see the sports bottle, which the priest hands over without hesitation.

It is filled with wine!!

The cop looks at his partner and says "I told you that I was Catholic. This is what happens every time!"

Father says, "He's done it again! Halleluiah".


Thanks to Doorman-Priest, in the comments, for the revised punchline. What do you think?

Fran sez, "That is truly terrible - is it not Mimi????"

Mimi sez, "Fran it is - truly."
