A Heavenly Halloween

            Every Halloween, the staff at Bandido’s Mexican Restaurants wears costumes (limited only by their imagination), to the delight of the guests. On this particular festival of the dead, two Catholic priests, Father Jeff and Father Jim, came in for dinner and, lo and behold…guess who waited on them. A waitress dressed as a pregnant nun. As she walked up to greet them, she said, “Nice costumes, guys,” and then took their drink order.
            At the bar, when she was informed that the two gentlemen were priests and being Halloween, she was extremely horrified. Returning to the table, she kept her eyes lowered in shame as she set down their drinks and muttered, “Bless me, Father, for I have sinned.”

            To which Father Jeff answered, “You are forgiven, my child. Now for your penance, you may pay for our dinners,” which she did, making that hallow evening…heavenly, for the clever clerics.
