"Go Where?"
Two men seated on an airplane noticed a
Catholic Nun sitting in front of them, one of the
men says to the other with a wink, "I was going
to go to Ireland until I found out that half the
country is Catholic so I don't want to go there".
The other man says, "We'll how about Poland,
then?"
The first man says, "No way, Poland is loaded
with those Catholics too."
The other man suggests a trip to the U.S. but
his companion says, "The Catholics have
spread out over the whole country every time
I turn around there I bump into one."
The men are watching and can see that the
nun is fidgeting and getting kind of agitated
about their conversation.
The fellow who started the teasing decides to
really get her mad and says, "I really wanted
to go to Italy but that place is crawling with
Catholics, what with the Pope there and all."
At this the Nun has had it and finally turns
around in her seat and sweetly says to the
men, "Why don't you both go to hell? I hear
that there aren't any Catholics there."

"Elevator To Heaven?"
There's this cathedral that's still being worked
on, and the workers have rigged a "cage
elevator" inside so they can get material up
and down to the upper floors. A characteristic
of these "cage elevators" is that the doors (gate)
must be closed manually for them to be "called"
to another floor.
One day one of the workers, Peter by name,
takes the elevator to the top floor, and it is
subsequently needed on the first floor by the
sexton. Unfortunately, Peter forgot and left the
door open. After the sexton rings for the elevator
a couple times, to no avail, he yells up for the
worker to send the lift back down. Visitors to
the cathedral were treated to this sight: The
sexton of the cathedral, head tipped up, yelling
up to the heavens:
"Peter! CLOSE THE GATES!!!"
