Before performing a baptism, Father Reilly approached Paddy Murphy and said solemnly, "Baptism is a serious step. Are you prepared for it?"

"I think so," Paddy replied. "My wife has made appetizers and we have a caterer coming to provide plenty of cookies and cakes for all of our guests."

"I don't mean that," Father Reilly responded. "I mean, are you prepared spiritually?"

"Oh, sure," Paddy replied. "I've got a keg of beer and a case of whiskey."
