It is requisite for the relaxation of the mind that we make use, from time to time, of playful deeds and jokes.
St. Thomas Aquinas

A Jesuit was out for a drive and crashed into another car, only to discover that the other driver was a Franciscan.“It was my fault,” each insisted—as is only right and proper with religious men.
Concerned, the Jesuit said, “You look badly shaken up, Father. You could probably use a good stiff drink right now to calm down.”
He produced a flask and the Franciscan drank from it and said,
“Thank you, Father; I feel much better now. But you’re probably shaken up, too. Why don’t you have a drink as well?”
“I will,” the Jesuit replied, “But I think I’ll wait until after the police have come.”

A little child in Church for the first time watched as the ushers passed the offering plates. When they neared the pew where he sat, the youngster piped up so that everyone could hear:
“Don’t pay for me Daddy, I’m under five.”
