Priest Joke

Two elder priests take the new priest out fishing. As they're sitting and conversing in the boat, one elder priest says, "Man, I need to stretch my legs." So he stands up, steps out of the boat ONTO THE WATER, and takes a few steps around. The younger priest is astounded, but says nothing.

The other elder priest says, "My legs are cramped too. I think I'll take a walk." He stands up, steps out of the boat onto the water, and walks around a bit. The younger priest is in disbelief. He thinks to himself, if they can do it, I can too. I have just as much faith as they do.

So he gets up, steps out of the boat... and promptly sinks under water. The elder priests pull him back in the boat and say nothing. The younger sits a few minutes, embarrassed, but thinks, I have as much faith as they do. Gets up, steps out of the boat, and sinks. The elder priests pull him back in.

After a few minutes of awkward silence, one elder priest says to the other, "Well, Bob, should we show him where the rocks are?"
