THE DOMINICAN, FRANCISCAN, AND THE JESUIT

A DOMINICAN, A FRANCISCAN, AND A JESUIT WERE WALKING IN HEAVEN AND
SAW THE HOLY FAMILY COMING.
"MARY" SAID THE DOMINICAN, "I'VE ALWAYS WORSHIPPED YOU, YOU ARE
MY IDOL."
"JOSEPH," SAID THE FRANCISCAN, "YOU HAVE ALWAYS BEEN MY IDOL."
THE JESUIT WAS A LITTLE TAKEN ABACK BY HIS COMPANIONS' DISPLAY
OF EMOTION. BUT HE DID ASK JOSEPH: "WHERE ARE YOU GOING TO SEND
YOUR KID TO SCHOOL?"
