At the end of the night, the priest, holding a wad of old pound notes in his hand, told the manager that his band hadn't attracted as big a crowd as promised, and that it was a very disappointing night. The manager whipped the wad of notes from the priest's grip and said, "well, Father, no point in two of us being disappointed then", and disappeared with the band into the night in their old Ford Transit!<br /><br />Whistle
