Before performing a baptism, the priest approached the
young father and said solemnly, "Baptism is a serious
step. Are you prepared for it?"

"I think so," the man replied. "My wife has made
appetizers and we have a caterer coming to provide
plenty of cookies and cakes for all of our guests."

"I don't mean that," the priest responded. "I mean,
are you prepared spiritually?"

"Oh, sure," came the reply. "I've got a keg of beer
and a case of whiskey."
