Pope Leo came to visit Belfast. While there he was approached by a teenage lad.
"Can you please help me with my hearing, Your Holiness?", asked the boy.
The Pope put his hands over the boy's ears, mumbled a couple of prayers, and then asked him,"how is your hearing now, my son?"
The boy replied, "I don't know; it's not till next Tuesday!"

I liked Tim Dowling's confession in the Guardian the other day -

" Fourteen times I’ve told the single joke I wrote in 2025, to the total bewilderment of listeners. The only reason I didn’t tell it more often was because it requires the participation of a willing comic foil, and most people I know want no part of it. If you haven’t heard it, it goes like this:

Me: “You know, they said I’d really like that spreadable Calabrian sausage that’s so trendy right now.”

Comic foil: “Nduja?”

Me: “I can take it or leave it.”

I have now reluctantly retired the joke, because it seems there just aren’t enough people who both know of the spreadable Calabrian sausage called nduja, and also know that it’s pronounced in a way that could conceivably be mistaken for someone saying “and do ya?”

There are, however, dozens of people who claim the J in nduja is actually pronounced with a soft “zh” sound in Calabria itself, thus rendering my joke null and void. I know this because they all emailed me... "

The head of a convent is asking pupils in her charge what they intend doing with their lives.
"I'm going to be a nun", the first says.
"I am so happy with your choice my dear, it is what God intended; may you have His blessing" says the other. "And what do you intend for your life?" she asks the second girl.
"I'd like to be an actress" replies the child.
"Well, my dear, I am sure that having thought it through, you will come to make a different choice", the head tells her. "And what about you?" she asks the third.
"I want to be a prostitute!" she says.
"A WHAT!?" expostulates the teacher;
"A PROSTITUTE!" the girl repeats, loudly.
"A WHAT???!!!"
"A PROSTITUTE!!!"
"Oh" says the head, "I must be getting hard of hearing. I thought you said a PROTESTANT".
