Hiya All... Right, brace yourselves for real groaner of a pun starring a bishop with a mission... Wishes & Dreams... - ANDREA xx ******* THE LOONY BIN **** loonies@bloodaxe.com ******* Archive: http://www.theloonies.co.uk/ *********** ANDROMEDA **** Internet Goddess *********** ------- Forwarded foolishness follows ------- MISSIONARY PUN -------------- A missionary bishop had a diocese of numerous islands in the South Pacific. The largest island remained outside his see because the natives were under the influence of a fanatic sect. The island king felt so strongly about it he declared that if the bishop ever landed on his shore, he would have him for dinner. At the same time, the cannibal king was not so primitive he did not know the value of education and thus his son was even then at Oxford studying Shakespeare and becoming aware that even bishops were inedible. The king died and the son went home to be crowned. As part of his inauguration the young king invited the bishop to come to his island when he would present him with a certificate personally, permitting the bishop to establish a mission there. When the bishop's party waded ashore it was met by the new monarch, surrounded by his warriors. Nervously, an archdeacon in the bishop's group said, "I hope you don't intend to roast our bishop." "No, no, no," his majesty said, "I come to bear his see, sir, not to braise him."
