Father O'Grady was saying his good-byes to the parishioners after his Sunday
morning service as he always does when Mary Clancey came up to him in tears.
"What's bothering you, dear?" asked Farther O'Grady.
"Oh, father, I've got terrible news." Replied Mary. "My husband passed away
last night."
"Oh, Mary!" said the good father. "That's terrible. Tell me, Mary, did he
have any last requests?"
"Yes...," Mary replied sheepishly.
"Well?" "He said, 'Please, Mary, put down the gun.'"
