CHRISTMAS LORE
A tramp stopped at a Catholic rectory shortly before Christmas and told the priest: “Father, I’ve been floating around long enough. Could I join your church and settle down?” The priest replied, “Why, yes. But first, let’s find out how much you know about the Bible and the Christian faith.” With Christmas coming soon the priest naturally asked: “Where was Jesus born?” The tramp replied, “In Pittsburgh.” The priest shook his head and the tramp tried again: “In Philadelphia.” Again the priest shook his head, and not wishing to embarrass the tramp anymore, said slowly: “Jesus was born in Bethlehem.” Quickly the tramp declared, “Oh, yeah! I knew it was someplace in Pennsylvania.”
