The mothers of four priests got together and were discussing their sons. “My son is a monsignor,” said the first proud woman. “When he enters a room, people say, ‘Hello, Monsignor.'”

The second mother went on, “My son is a bishop. When he enters a room, people say, ‘Hello, Your Excellency.'”

“My son is a cardinal.” continued the next one. “When he enters a room, people say, ‘Hello, Your Eminence.'”

The fourth mother thought for a moment. “My son is six-foot-ten and weighs 300 pounds,” she said, “When he enters a room, people say, ‘Oh, my God.'”
