Joke of the Day, 5/25/07

Two aging Catholic priests went to the Vatican for the first time, to visit the great library of church documents. Because they were great scholars, they were given access to the oldest text in the city, dating from the inauguration of the rite of priestly ordination.

One of the priests had an appointment to meet with a cardinal, and when he returned to the room where they had been working, he found his counterpart weeping bitterly.

“What is the matter?”

“This text — our monks have copied it faithfully by hand for years, correct?”

“Why yes, that is true.”

“Might there have been some small error made along the way??”

“Perhaps — we are but human.”

“So is it not possible that one minor mistake, made thousands of years ago, may have been copied, over and over again, ever since???”

“I suppose that could be. But why do you ask?”

Weeping again, the scholar thrust the ancient text toward his friend.

“It says cel-EBRATE!”
