A priest decides one mid weekday to visit one of his elderly
parishoners, Mrs Smith. He rings the door bell and Mrs Smith appears.
"Good Day Mrs Smith. I just thought I would drop by and see how
your are doing" The woman says, "Oh just fine Father, come on in and
we’ll have some tea."
While sitting a the coffee table, the priest notices a bowl of almonds on the table. "Mind if I have one?", the priest says.
"Not at all, have as many as you like".
After a few hours the priest looks at his watch and alarmed at how
long he has been visting says to Mrs Smith, "Oh my goodness, look at
the time. I must be going. Oh but dear me I have eaten all your
alomonds. I’ll have to replace them next time I visit."
To which Mrs Smith replied, "Oh don’t bother Father. Ever since I
lost all my teeth, it’s all I can do just to lick the chocolate off
them."
