Did you hear the one about the Vicar...

I was talking with Bill Bruce about lawyer jokes, telling him that they could be converted to Vicar jokes. Vicar is my official job title as the priest of a mission congregation. King of Peace is fully self-supporting and will be made a parish rather than a mission as soon as the church canons (rules) allow with a first reading in 2009 and approval likely in February 2010. But in the meantime, I serve vicariously on behlf of the bishop, who is King of Peace's Rector, or main priest. So Vicar jokes, but you can call them pastor jokes or preacher jokes.

I offered him:
What do you call a thousand Vicars on the bottom of the ocean?
A good start.

There's an interesting new novel about two ex-convicts.
One of them studies for the priesthood, the other decides to go straight.

Bill replied with:
What’s black and brown and looks good on a vicar?
A Doberman pinscher.

What did the vicar say when he stepped into a pile of cow manure?
“Oh my gosh, I’m melting!”

How do you save a drowning vicar?
You take your foot off his head.

How does a pregnant woman know when she’s carrying a future vicar?
She has a craving for bologna.

What’s the first thing you do after running over a vicar?
Back up.

How can you tell if a vicar is lying?
His lips are moving.

How many vicars does it take to stop a moving bus?
Never enough.

When vicars die, why are they buried in a hole 24 feet deep?
Because deep down, they are nice guys.

AND FINALLY – Where can you find a good vicar?
In the cemetery.

I find them funnier than lawyer jokes, because they are less expected. But that's just me. Do you have any Vicar jokes to add?

peace,
