“NICE  HAIR  DO!”

“Your hair looks great!”

After Mass the priest stood there

shaking hands to a couple of hundred

people on their way out of church.

“Have a great week!”

“Why would you root for the Redskins?”

A Redskin jacket triggered that comment.

The priest was a Giant’s fan.

“Interesting glasses….”  He said that

to a tiny little girl - and she said, “Thank you!”

Next day - first thing Monday morning -

he got a call from an old lady, Mrs. Zadinsky:

“I want to thank you for the comment you

made about my hair on the way out of

church yesterday. You’re the only one

who noticed. That meant a lot to me.”

“Oh,” said the priest. “What you just said

means a lot to me. Thank you. By the way

nobody ever makes comments about my hair.”

“Cute,” said, Mrs. Zadinsky. “Cute!”
