Luck of the Irish or Good Catholics ?

an oldie but still good..

Mrs. Donovan was walking down O'Connell Street in
Dublin when she met up with Father Flaherty.

The Father said, "Top O the mornin'to ye! Aren't ye
Mrs. Donovan and didn't I marry ye and yer hoosband 2
years ago?"
She replied,"Aye, that ye did, Father."

The Father asked, "And be there any wee little ones
yet?"

She replied, "No, not yet, Father."
The Father said, "Well now, I'm going to Rome next
week and I'll light
a candle for ye and yer hoosband.

She replied, "Oh, thank ye, Father."
They then parted ways.
Some years later they met again. The Father asked,
" Well now, Mrs. Donovan, how are ye these days?"
She replied,

"Oh, very well, Father!"
The Father asked, "And tell me, have ye any wee
ones yet?"

She replied, "Oh yes, Father! Three sets of twins
and 4 singles, 10 in all!"

The Father said, "That's wonderful! How is yer
loving hoosband doing?"

She replied, "E's gone to Rome to blow out yer
fookin' candle."..................
