Why did her boyfriend dump her for the priesthood?

[Math Is Hard]

huh? what vow of celibacy? was that on the checklist?

My 18-year-old baby sister just got dumped by her boyfriend. The reason: he is going into the priesthood.

This has got to be one of the strangest breakup stories I have ever heard. Poor thing is crying her eyes out. She was crazy about him.

Remind her that at least he didn't leave her because he didn't like her, or stopped loving her or something. He just did it because he holds his God above everything else in his life, like a good catholic would do.

Page 3 of your I Hereby Sell My Soul To Evo contract, paragraph 5, small print, yup. It's there: "In order to foster and maintain a level of aggressiveness sufficient to instantly smack miscreants with frozen salmon and other fish whenever called upon to do so, I hereby vow to completely refrain from sexual relations and sexual acts and sexual behavior of any and all kinds."

I warned you not to join, Math!

You didn't realize it, but now you're really a nun!

I had two friends of mine go into the seminary. When I found out, I had two completely different reactions for each. For one of them, I wasn't too surprised, though I thought that he should've gone into physics or engineering. For the other, my jaw literally dropped to the floor. He was someone that I had known since I was five or six and had lived next door to me for the past six years, but the priesthood was the last thing I expected from him. Granted, I hadn't really hung out with him in high school, but I still saw him regularly in classes, and it was quite a shock. Since then, my family and I have come up with all sorts of cynical reasons as to why he might have decided to become a priest (but I won't repeat those).

All in all, out of ten people going to the local seminary in the entire metropolitan area, three of them came from my high school. I guess that's what I get for attending a Jesuit school.

Of course, as always, there is a loophole. That's why lawyers exist.

Just check paragraph 6.6.6.

WHEN? Did I miss something, did I sleep through it?

I believe discretion is distinctly the better part of valor for me on this one.

Need to add - "Do not operate machinery or heavy equipment while under the influence."

Also, exercise caution when attempting to influence.

Know when to duck , and when to keep mouth shut .
