imitating christ

ok sunday, usually i don’t post serious stuff so here is a joke i came across in zorro’s blog at one of his comments box.

—————————————————

The old priest lay dying in the hospital.

For years He had faithfully served the people of the nation’s capital. He motioned for his nurse to come near.

"Yes, Father?" said the nurse.

"I would really like to see Khairy and Samy Velu before I die", whispered the priest.

"I’ll see what I can do, Father" replied the nurse.

The nurse sent the request to them and waited for a response. Soon the word arrived. Khairy and Samy would be delighted to visit the priest.

As they went to the hospital, Khairy commented to Samy "I don’t know why the old priest wants to see us, but it will certainly help our images."

Samy couldn’t help but agree.

When they arrived at the priest’s room, the priest took Samy’s hand in his right hand and Khairy’s hand in his left. There was silence and a look of serenity on the old priest’s face.

Finally Samy spoke. "Father, of all the people you could have chosen, why did you choose us to be with you as you near the end?"

The old priest slowly replied "I have always tried to pattern my life after our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ."

The old priest continued…"He died between two lying thieves. I would like to do the same."

of course depending on who you dislike more as liars, you can substitute their names in place of these 2 above-mentioned.
