As retold by
Bruce Lowitt
An old Jewish man on a bus sits down next to a younger man with an
odd-looking shirt collar. Having never seen a priest before, he asks,
"Excuse me, but why do you have your shirt collar on backwards?"
The priest, taken aback at a question he's never been asked before, recovers his
composure and says, "I wear this collar because I am a Father."
"But I'm a father, too," the Jew says. "Four sons, three
daughters and I don't know how many grandchildren by now. But I don't wear my
collar on backwards."
The exasperated priest says, "I am the father for hundreds and hundreds of
people."
The Jewish man thinks for a while, gets up to leave, leans down to the priest
and says, "Mister, maybe you should wear your pants on backwards."
