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 would 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 says no.

He baits the hook for him 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, what a big sonofabitch!"

Priest: "Uh, please
sir, can you mind your language?"

Fisherman: (THINKING QUICKLY) "I'm sorry father, but that's what this fish
is called - a sonofabitch!"

Priest:"Oh, I'm sorry - I didn't know."

After the trip, the priest brings the fish to the church and spots the
bishop.

Priest: "Eminence, look at this big sonofabitch!"

Bishop: "Please Father, mind your language, this is a house of God."

Priest: "No, you don't understand - that's what this fish is called, and I
caught it. I caught this sonofabitch!"

Bishop: "Hmmm. You know, I could clean this sonofabitch and we could have
it for dinner."

So the Bishop takes the fish and cleans it, and brings it to Mother
Superior at the convent.

Bishop: "Mother Superior could you cook this sonofabitch for dinner
tonight?"

Mother Superior: "My lord, what language!"

Bishop: "No, Sister, that's what the fish is called - a sonofabitch!
Father caught it, I cleaned it, and we'd like you to cook it."

Mother Superior: "Hmmm. Yes, I'll cook that sonofabitch tonight."

Well, the Pope stops by for dinner with the three of them, and they all
think the fish is great.

He asks where they got it.

Priest: "I caught the sonofabitch!"

Bishop: "And I cleaned the sonofabitch!"

Mother Superior: And I cooked the sonofabitch!"

The Pope stares at them for a minute with a steely gaze, but then takes
off his hat, puts his feet up on the table, and says, "You know, you
fuckers are all right".
