THE PAINTED BOTTOM

In Dublin, Ireland, the father of a family had just installed a new toilet seat and intended to paint it the colours of die Irish flag - green, white and orange. He painted it green and orange, but ran out of white paint, so he told his wife he was just popping out to die shops. On his way back, however, he decided to stop for a quick pint of Guinness in his local pub. In the meantime, the priest had made an unexpected visit and the mother of the family was entertaining him with tea and biscuits. At one point, the priest asked if he could use the bathroom and the mother directed him upstairs. When the priest hadn't returned after 30 minutes, the mother went to see what had happened to him. The poor priest was stuck fast to the toilet and had been too embarrassed to shout for help. The mother averted her eyes as she helped the priest off the toilet and vowed never to say a word about it, although she did stifle a giggle when she saw the priest's green and orange backside.
