Mary Clancy goes up to Father

Mary Clancy goes up to Father McGuire after his Sunday morning service, and she’s in tears.

He says, “So what’s bothering you, Mary my dear?”

She says, “Oh, Father, I’ve got terrible news. My husband passed away last night.”

The priest says, “Oh, Mary, that’s terrible. Tell me, Mary, did he have any last requests?”

She says, “That he did, Father.”

The priest says, “What did he ask, Mary? ”

She says, “He said, ‘Please Mary, put down that damn gun.'”
