A priest was asked to dinner by one of his parishioners.

When he sat down at the table, he noticed that the dishes were

the dirtiest that he had ever seen in his life.

Were these dishes ever washed? he asked his hostess, running his fingers over the grit and grime.

She replied, Of course they were cleaned Father.

Theyre as clean as soap and water could get them.

He felt a bit apprehensive, but blessed the food anyway and they all started eating. The meal was delicious and he paid his compliments in spite the dirty dishes.

When dinner was over, the hostess took the dishes outside and yells –

Here Soap! Here Water!
