"Irish father Flannigan, an elderly irish priest i..." joke

Irish father Flannigan, an elderly irish priest invited irish father O`Connell, a younger irish priest from a neighboring parish who was fresh from the seminary, over for dinner. During the meal, the young irish priest couldn`t help noticing how attractive and shapely the house keeper was. Over the course of the evening he started to wonder if there was more between the elderly irish priest and the housekeeper than met the eye. Reading the young irish priest`s thoughts, the elderly irish priest volunteered, "I know what you must be thinking, but I assure you, my relationship with my housekeeper is purely professional." About a week later the housekeeper came to the elderly irish priest and said, "irish father Flannigan, ever since the irish father O`Connell came to dinner, I`ve been unable to find the beautiful silver gravy ladle. You don`t suppose he took it do you?" The irish priest said, "Well, I doubt it, but I`ll write him a letter just sure." So he sat down and wrote: "Dear irish father O`Connell I thoroughly enjoyed our conversation at dinner the other night and hope we have the opportunity to do so again. On another matter. We had a beautiful silver ladle which was a gift from a parishioner that comes to visit from time to time. The ladle has come up missing and I would be very embarrassed to invite her over and she notice the missing ladle. It is very important that it be found. Now, I`m not saying that you `did` take a gravy ladle from my house, and I`m not saying you `did not` take a gravy ladle. But the fact remains that it has been missing ever since you were here." Several days later the elderly irish priest received a letter from the young irish priest which read: "Dear irish father Flannigan, I also enjoyed our dinner and conversation and hope note only that we do so again, but also that I be permitted to return the favor. On the other matter. Now, I`m not saying that you `do` sleep with your housekeeper, and I`m not saying that you `do not` sleep with your housekeeper. But the fact remains that if you were sleeping in your own bed, you would have found the gravy ladle by now."
