The mothers of four priests got together and were discussing their sons. "My son is a monsignor," said the first proud woman. "When he enters a room, people say, 'Hello, Monsignor.'"

    The second mother went on, "My son is a bishop. When he enters a room, people say, 'Hello, Your Excellency.'" 

    "My son is a cardinal." continued the next one. "When he enters a room, people say, 'Hello, Your Eminence.'"

    The fourth mother thought for a moment. "My son is six-foot-ten and weighs 300 pounds," she said, "When he enters a room, people say, 'Oh, my God.'" 

    四個神職人員的母親聚在一起談論自己的兒子。“我兒子是個牧師，”第一個驕傲的母親說，“當他走進一個房間時，人們會說，‘您好，牧師。”

    第二個母親接著說，“我兒子是個主教，當他走進一個房間時，人們會說，‘您好，主教閣下。”

    “我兒子是紅衣主教，”第三個母親繼續，“當他走進一個房間時，人們會說，‘您好，尊敬的紅衣主教。”

    第四個母親想了一會兒，說：“我兒子身高6尺10吋，體重300磅，當他走進一個房間時，人們都說，‘哦，我的上帝！”
