Joke told during a parish mission by a Passionist.

My name is Father Mevin.

When I was assigned to a parish I used to enjoy going to a movie on my day off.

The nearest movie was in a mall.

As I was going down the escalator I noticed out of the corner of my eye a woman on the up escalator who seemed to recognize me.

Since she looked familiar and, not wanting to be rude, I exchanged a nod as we passed. She did the same.

By the time I got to the bottom of the escalator I still could not place her.

Apparently she did.

From the top of the escalotor I heard her yell down to me, "Oh Father Melvin! I didn't recognize you with your clothes on!"

I knew what she meant. She knew what she meant. Nevertheless I lurched into the darkness of the movie theater hoping everyone in earshot would not be there when I came out.

There's no denying that. :rofl:

I was at a local drug store, and there was a guy there in his 60s in regular "street clothes." I kept thinking to myself that I saw this guy before somewhere, and he did seem to recognize me, but I couldn't quite place him. Later on I found out that our Archbishop often wears regular clothes when he's not working so that all clicked together who exactly it was.

And he started with this joke;
