Priest's Collar
A priest was walking along the school corridor
near the preschool wing when a group of little
ones were trotting by on the way to the cafeteria.
One little lad of about three or four stopped and
looked at him in his clerical clothes and asked,
"Why do you dress funny?"
He told him that he was a priest and that this is
the uniform priests wear. Then the boy pointed
to the priest's little plastic collar insert and asked,
"Does it hurt? Do you have a Boo-boo?"
The priest was perplexed till he realized that to
him the collar insert looked like a bandaid. So
the priest took it out to show him. On the back
of the collar there were raised letters giving the
name of the manufacturer. The little guy felt the
letters, and the priest asked, "Do you know what
those words say?"
"Yes I do," said the lad who was not old enough
to read. Peering intently at the letters he said,
"It says, 'Kills ticks and fleas up to six months!' "
