Do you run into on-ups menship?

Catholic One-Upmanship

Four Catholic mothers are sitting around bragging about their sons.

The first mother says, "My son is a monsignor, and when he walks in the room, people greet him by saying 'Good morning, monsignor'."

The second mother says, "Well, my son is a Bishop, and people greet him by saying 'Good morning, your Grace'."

The third mother says, "Well, my son is a Cardinal, and people greet him by saying 'Good morning, your Eminence"."

The three women look over at the fourth, knowing her son hadn't joined the priesthood, and wondering how she might try to top them.

After a moment the fourth mother says, "My son is six feet, ten inches tall and is 300 pounds of pure muscle. When he walks in the room, people greet him by saying 'Oh... my... God!"

As a non practicing Catholic, I have to say..that was funny!
Mostly I dislike Religious jokes, sexist and jokes about being disabled. But as the man says "I don't care who you are, That there is funny"! Funny without being mean is refreshing. Thanks Mamu!

Happened to me too. Right after a complete hysterectomy and bowel resection, was told by surgeon to make an appointment with the Gynecologist. When I came in she said: "Why are you here?" My mouth fell open. Totally made me speechless. Guess I figured the two doctors may have exchanged notes, my record was on her clipboard. I immediately felt threatened by her.

Kate, I was being rolled into surgery and a nurse stopped me to ask why I was there! I lost it..I mean if they didn't know, I could have lost an arm or leg by accident. After stuggling with the nurses to get away..they explained that they just wanted me to verify why I was there..so there wouldn't be a mistake. I think the big X on my stomach (That I put there)would have been a dead givaway....ummm
That was too scary for me. They should have a better way of asking.

That sounds reasonable, we were just asking to see if you knew!
