Hi Wayne,

Do you think that these several devout catholics are typical? They
sound atypical to me, but I'm a bit ignorant- I'm not close friends
with any devout catholics. I worked for one for a while that wouldn't
think of making jokes about his religion. And all of my other
exposures to various religions were just as serious.

>Anyway, the jokes were good. :-)

Glad you enjoyed them!

(I will collect all of the jokes into a file, and make it available.)
