The priest was a fisherman, but he hadn\'t fished in months. One perfect Sunday morning he couldn\'t resist. He called up the Bishop and claimed he had laryngitis. The priest then headed out to his favorite spot.
The hook hadn\'t been in the water five minutes before he got a strike, and landed the biggest fish he had ever caught - although he had seen bigger ones., A half hour* later, he caught the biggest fish he had ever seen. Another forty-five minutes later he landed a fish that broke the world record.
All this time St. Peter and God have been watching the priest from heaven. St. Peter turned to God, and said, \"How can you reward this priest? He lied. He let down his congregation.\"
God smiles at St. Peter, and replies, \"I\'m punishing him.\"
St. Peter is confused, so God continues, \"Well, after he finishes, who can he tell his story to?\"
