The mothers of four priests got together and were discussing their sons. "My son is a monsignor," said the first proud woman. "When he enters a room, people say, 'Hello, Monsignor.'"
The second mother went on, "My son is a bishop. When he enters a room, people say, 'Hello, Your Excellency.'"
"My son is a cardinal." continued the next one. "When he enters a room, people say, 'Hello, Your Eminence.'"
The fourth mother thought for a moment. "My son is six-foot-ten and weighs 300 pounds," she said, "When he enters a room, people say, 'Oh, my God.'"
四个神职人员的母亲聚在一起谈论自己的儿子。“我儿子是个牧师，”第一个骄傲的母亲说，“当他走进一个房间时，人们会说，‘您好，牧师。”
第二个母亲接着说，“我儿子是个主教，当他走进一个房间时，人们会说，‘您好，主教阁下。”
“我儿子是红衣主教，”第三个母亲继续，“当他走进一个房间时，人们会说，‘您好，尊敬的红衣主教。”
第四个母亲想了一会儿，说：“我儿子身高6尺10吋，体重300磅，当他走进一个房间时，人们都说，‘哦，我的上帝！”
