This fellow decided to open a shoe store with super low prices. He decided to call it “Shoe King.” A late-night comedian got wind of the name and made some jokes about how the store’s great bargains were “shoe king” the customers. Another comedian retorted by saying their prices were “shoe kingly” low. Will all the publicity the store did a great business and the owner even used the slogan in his advertising: “Our prices are shoe kingly low.” After a while he made a lot of money and one day he told his wife, “I’m thinking about opening a store that sells discount sofas.

Seamus was about to tee off on the first hole when a second golfer (Paddy) approached and asked if he could join him. Seamus said that he usually played alone, but agreed to the twosome.

Seamus said that he wasn't much for betting, but agreed.

Paddy easily won the remaining 16 holes. They walked off number eighteen while Paddy counted his £80.00. He then confessed that he was the pro at a neighboring course and “liked to pick on suckers.”

Seamus, shocked, revealed that he was the Parish Priest.

Paddy the pro was flustered and apologetic and offered to return the money.

Seamus replied, "You won fair and square I was foolish to bet with you. Keep your winnings."

An embarrassed Paddy asked, "Please, is there anything I can do to make it up to you?"

Seamus replied, "Well, you could come to Mass on Sunday and make a donation. And, if you want to bring your Mother and Father along I'll marry them.
