As a Sunday school teacher long ago, we were reading a passage that included the word “bastard”. One kid said, “Oh, that’s a bad word!” Another chimed in with, “No, it’s just a bad driver”.

Aliens arrive on Earth. Delegations from different countries, religious leaders gather around and ask the newcomers about their lives. When the Pope’s turn comes, he asks: “Do you know about the Savior and our Lord our God, Jesus Christ?” “Ah, Jesus,” the alien replies. “Of course we know him. He visits us every year to make sure we’re okay.” Surprised, the Pope exclaims: “Every year? We have been waiting for his second coming for 2000 years!” The newcomer sees that the pope is beginning to get angry, and tries to calm him down: “Well, maybe he likes our chocolate more than yours.” The pope is amazed: “Chocolate? And what does it have to do with it?” “Yes, chocolate. When he first visited our planet, we gave him a nice box of chocolates. Wait, what did you do?”
