A priest decides to take a walk to the pier near his church. He looks around and finally stops to watch a fisherman load his boat. The fisherman notices and asks the priest if he'd like to join him for a couple of hours.
The priest agrees. The fisherman asks if the priest has ever fished before, to which the priest answers no. He baits the hook and says, “Give it a shot, Father.”
After a few minutes, the priest hooks a big fish and struggles to
get it in the boat. The fisherman says, “Whoa, look at that big sonofabitch!”
The Priest says, “Uh, sir, can you please mind your language?”
The Fisherman thinking quickly replies, “I'm sorry, Father, but that's what the fish is called: – a sonofabitch.”
And the Priest says, “Oh, I'm sorry, I did not know.”
After the trip, the priest brings the fish to the church and stops the Bishop.
The Priest says to the Biishop,“Look at this big sonofabitch!” To this the Bishop says,“Please, mind your language, this is a house of God.”
The Priest retorts quickly, “No, you don't understand! That's what the fish is called and I caught it. I caught this sonofabitch!” The Bishop nods and thinks aloud, “Hmmm, you know I could clean this sonofabitch and we could have it for dinner.”
So the Bishop takes the fish, cleans it and takes it to the Head Mother. The Bishop says to the Head Mother, “Could you cook this sonofabitch for dinner tonight?”
The Head Mother scoffs, “My lord, what langauge!” The Bishop replies, “No, Sister, that's what this fish is called, asonofabitch! Father caught it, I cleaned it, and
we want you to cook it.” To this the Head Mother agrees and says, “Yes, I'll cook that sonofabitch tonight.” That night the Pope stops by for dinner. He thinks the fish is great and asks where they got it. The Priest says, “I caught the sonofabitch.”
The Bishop follows, “And I cleaned the sonofabitch.” And the Head Mother says,“And I cooked the sonofabitch.” The Pope stares at them for a minute with a steely gaze, takes off his hat, leans back in his chair, puts his feet up on the table and
says, “You know, you fuckers are alright!”
