O'Toole worked in the lumber yard for twenty years and all that time
he'd been stealing the wood and selling it. At last his conscience
began to bother him and he went to confession to repent.

"Father, it's 15 years since my last confession, and I've been stealing
wood from the lumber yard all those years," he told the priest.

"I understand my son," says the priest. "Can you make a Novena?"

O'Toole said, "Father, if you have the plans, I've got the lumber."

A Novena is a prayer said nine days in a row. The priest was giving one
to the thieving wooddorker, who took off in the wrong direction.

Now, go look up what _catholic_ (with an initial lower-case 'c') means.

Some "comedians" have been known to refer to the 'catholic joint' on the
drive-shaft of a rear-wheel drive car.

I thought that was what you had when you sealed the rolling paper with
holy water instead of saliva.
