The Bing Crosby Joke of The Week
A little boy was sitting on the curb with a bottle of turpentine when a priest came by and asked him what he was up to.  "I have the powerful liquid in the world," answered the boy.  "No you don't," replied the priest, "the most powerful liquid in the world is Holy Water."  "Really?" asked the little boy, "How can you tell?"  "Well," explained the priest, "If you rub Holy Water on a pregnant woman's stomach, she'll pass a healthy baby."  "That's nothing," boasted the little boy, "If you rub some of this on a cat's ass he'll pass a Harley-Davidson."
