Three Ministers and a Priest

Three ministers and a priest played golf together every
week. They decided to visit each other’s churches. So the
following day, the three ministers showed up at an early
morning mass at their friend’s church. There were no empty
pews, so they stood in the back.
When the priest saw them, he whispered to the little
acolyte, “Get three chairs for the Protestants.” The boy
looked stunned and sat down.
The priest pointed in the back to where the clergy were
standing and repeated, “Get three chairs for the Protestants!”
The confused boy still stared back blankly.
Exasperated, the priest said emphatically, “PLEASE! Get
three chairs for the Protestants!”
The dismayed acolyte stood before the congregation and
announced, “Ladies and gentlemen. This is the first time it
has ever been done in this church, but let’s all stand and
give three cheers for the Protestants!”
