Funny Poop
·         Jack goes to his friend Mike and says "I'm sleeping with the pastor's wife.  Can you hold him in church for an hour after mass for me?"
The friend doesn't like it but being a friend, he agrees.
After mass, he starts talking to the pastor, asking him all sorts of stupid questions, just to keep him occupied.
Finally, the pastor gets annoyed and asks Mike what he's really up to.
Mike, feeling guilty, finally confesses to the pastor, "My friend is sleeping with your wife right now, so he asked me to keep you occupied."
The pastor smiles, puts a brotherly hand on Mike's shoulder, and says, "You better hurry home now.  My wife died a year ago"

Etcetera
