Father O'Grady was saying his goodbyes to the parishioners
after his
Sunday morning service as he always does when Mary Clancey
came up to him
in tears.
"What's bothering you so, dear?" inquired Farther
O'Grady.
"Oh, father, I've got terrible news." Replied Mary.
"Well what is it, Mary?"
"Well, my husband, passed away last night, Father."
"Oh, Mary" said the father, "that's terrible. Tell me
Mary, did he have
any last requests?"
"Well, yes he did father," replied Mary.
"What did he ask, Mary?"
Mary replied, "He said, 'Please, Mary, put down the
gun...'"
