Title: Three Holy Men & a Bear Post by: Oly on May 10, 2011, 07:33:38 am A Catholic Priest, a Baptist Preacher, and a Rabbi all served as Chaplains to the students of Northern Michigan University in Marquette .
They would get together two or three times a week for coffee and to talk Shop. One day, someone made the comment that preaching to people isn't really all that hard --- a real challenge would be to preach to a bear. One thing led to another, and they decided to do an experiment. >>> They would all go out into the woods, find a bear, preach to it, and Attempt to convert it. >>> Seven days later, they all came together to discuss their experience. >>> Father Flannery, who had his arm in a sling, was on crutches, and had various bandages on his body and limbs, went first. 'Well,' he said, 'I Went into the woods to find me a bear. And when I found him, I began to Read to him from the Catechism. Well, that bear wanted nothing to do with me and began to slap me around. So I quickly grabbed my holy water, sprinkled him and, Holy Mary Mother of God, he became as gentle as a Lamb. The Bishop is coming out next week to give him first communion and Confirmation.' >>>Reverend Billy Bob spoke next... *He was in a wheelchair, had one arm and both legs in casts and had an IV drip. In his best fire-and-brimstone oratory, he claimed, 'WELL, brothers, you KNOW that we don't sprinkle! I went out and I FOUND me a bear. And then I began to read to my bear from God's HOLY WORD! But that bear wanted nothing to do with me. So I took HOLD of him and we began to wrestle. We wrestled down one hill, UP another and DOWN another until we came to a creek. So I quickly DUNKED him and BAPTIZED his hairy soul. And just like you said, he became as gentle as a lamb... We spent the rest of the day praising Jesus.....Hallelujah! >>> The priest and the reverend both looked down at the Rabbi, who was lying in a hospital bed. He was in a body cast and traction with IVs and monitors running in and out of him.. He was in really bad shape. >>> The Rabbi looked up and said: "Looking back on it, .......* Circumcision may not have been the best way to start."
