	An elderly parish priest became unhappy with the things he was 
hearing during Saturday confessions.  After his sermon one Sunday 
morning, he said to his congregation, "I'm tired of hearing so many
people tell me in confession that they have cheated.  For thirty years, 
people have been saying to me 'I have cheated with Anthony...I have 
cheated with Mary...I have cheated with Frankie.'  I am sick and tired 
of hearing this word. From now on, when you come into my 
confessional, you will say 'I have fallen  with Anthony, or with Mary, 
or with Frankie.' No more the word CHEAT.  It will be FALL." About a
 year later, the old priest retired and was replaced by a younger man.  
No one thought to tell the new priest about the change of words in the 
confessional.
	 After hearing his first round of Saturday confessions, the young 
priest went to the mayor of the town and said to him, "Mr. Mayor, you 
are going to have to do something about the deplorable condition 
of the streets and sidewalks in this town. Everybody is telling me 
they are falling all over the place."
	 The mayor immediately understood the problem, and he leaned 
back in his chair and laughed. The priest was puzzled, and said, 
"Mr. Mayor, you shouldn't be laughing! Your wife told me that just 
last week she fell three times.!"

do but the baby wouldn't stop crying.  Finally dad got worried and 
decided to take the infant to the doctor.  They see the doc and he 
starts his exam after hearing that the father did all he could do.
	 He looks in the babys ears etc. and goes to the diaper area.  The 
doc undoes the diaper and finds that the diaper is indeed full.  
Here's the problem says doc.  He needs a change.  The father looks 
perplexed and states "but the package says it is good up to 10 lbs.
