To Be A Saint
I heard this from a friend:
There were two brothers. They were the terror of the town they lived in. Every day, they would steal, lie, and commit all seven cardinal sins. Finally one day, one of the brothers died. The other brother went to the priest and told him that at the funeral, the priest was to say that the dead brother had been a saint. He handed the priest a check that contained enough money to finish off the church the priest and his congregation was building. The priest immediately agreed.
At the funeral, the priest began ranting against the dead brother. "He was evil," the priest said. "He abused his wife, he lied to his friends, he beat his children and started fights at night clubs..." After continuing like this for a while, he stopped and said, "But compared to his brother over here....., he was a saint."
