The Acid Test |
Young Billy was sitting on the side walk with a small bottle of sulphuric acid, pouring drops on the ants as they crawled past.
A priest passing by saw this, and approached the lad.
"Good morning, young man. What are you doing with that little bottle?" he asked politely.
"I'm burning the ants with the acid," the boy replied.
Thinking that a bottle of acid was dangerous for a small boy to play with, the priest thought of how he could persuade the boy to part with it.
"Listen Son, I have a bottle of holy water here that you could put on the ants instead," said the priest.
"No way Father!" said the boy, "I'd rather have this bottle."
"But mine is special holy water," replied the priest.
"Well, what's so special about it?" enquired the boy.
"Ah," said the priest, "I once put a drop of this on a lady's belly and she passed a child."
"That's nothing!" exclaimed little Billy, "I once put a drop of this on a dog's gonads, and he passed a Kawasaki!!!"
