All Thumbs

Nicked this from Rich Leonardi's blog. Too funny not to share.

There's a story, perhaps apocryphal, that a well-known New York priest was once ministering the sacrament of the sick to a hospital patient. A female "chaplain" standing next to him sniffed, "If I had a penis, I could do that." To which the priest responded, "My dear, I generally prefer to use my thumb."

According to one of the commenters, Fr George Rutler was the priest.
