I don't know why it came to my mind at that moment, but it wasn't long before I'd meet my kids for the first time in years, and it was really great to reconnect with them.Īnyway, my kids are pretty popular (my son's a school teacher, so I don't want to embarrass him in front of the kids), and my daughter would be mortified to hear a dadjoke this terrible great so I'd appreciate if you didn't mention any details about me in the comments (might spoil their evening lol) it was just a nice little moment.Īnyway, just wanted to share the moment with you guys.Back in the Nineties, under the moniker of the Jerky Boys, Brennan, along with his partner and co-conspirator Kamal Ahmed, regularly used to ring people up and assume the role of overbearing whiner, aggressive meathead, astoundingly flamboyant out-of-work actor or any number of other outlandish characters. I was smiling all the way back to my office. So I turn around, and with this great big smile on my face, I'm like:Īnyway, I thought it was a great line. Anyway, as I'm walking away I hear him coughing. Long story short, he was worried about someone else taking credit for something and wanted me to talk to our boss about it for him (What does he think I am lol). I was having this workplace dispute with this really snively guy who was being a bit of a prick about some work assignment he was really proud of. It's work related lol), but I'm really proud of it. Ok, so technically this was before I knew I was a dad at the time, and it happened a long time ago, so I'm paraphrasing it a bit (have to leave out some details. Are you this nice to every guy you meet?' 'You know,' he said, 'you are the perfect woman. The next morning, she cooked a gourmet meal with all the trimmings. She listened to him with interest.Īfter paying for everything, she asked him if he would like to come to her place for a nightcap and stay for breakfast. They talked, they laughed, she shared her deepest dreams and he shared his. They enjoyed a wonderful dinner together, and afterwards they went to the theater followed by drinks. 'Let me buy your dinner to make it up to you.' 'Oh my, I am so sorry,' the woman said, as she popped her eye back in place. He reflexively reached out, grabbed it out of the air, and handed it back. Suddenly she sneezed, and her glass eye came flying out of its socket towards the man. He had been checking her out since he sat down, but lacked the nerve to talk with her. and there was a gorgeous redhead sitting at the next table. The priest didn’t even wait for the request, he was good, and brought the half lemon. It turned out to be a good idea, because as he thought, the stranger entered the churchyard on Sunday. He thought the strange man might appear again next week, and it would be nice if he could keep up with him, so he spent his week working on his cardio. He wasn’t in a very good condition, he has never run so much and so fast before so he was out of breath by the end of the village, almost fainted. Here it is, my dear son, but please tell me why do you need this half a lemon? - the man was obviously frightened and immediately ran away but the priest was not sluggish either and ran after him. Placed it in the stranger’s hand and immediately he asked:
Of course he was good, went back to the rectory, and brought the half lemon. Priest, please be good and give me half a lemon! - the priest was surprised by the appearance of the man and his strange request. Son, why do you need this half of a lemon? - with a fright on his face, and before the priest could have said a thing, he rushed out of the churchyard gate and took off.Ī week later, around the same time, when the priest was leaving the church, he found himself in front of the same man in the churchyard. Priest, please be good and give me half a lemon! - the priest was a good man, and even though he thought the request was a bit strange, he went back to the rectory, took out a lemon, cut it in half, took it back to the man and gave it to him, who looked back to the priest with gratitude. With his dirty and torn clothes, he stood before the priest and said: From there on, he was celebrating the Sunday masses, joining together men and women in Holy Matrimony, and saying prayers at the funerals.Īt the end of an ordinary mass, in early spring, on a chilly Sunday morning he was just guiding the people out of the church, was about to close the gates when an unknown man stepped into the churchyard. The priest took the initiative, asked the Church for support, and with the help of the local men they built their own temple.
The people there believed in the same religion as he did, but they had no church they had to go to the nearest one which was in a small town 25 km's from there. After many years of wandering, he finally arrived in a small village in the middle of nowhere.
