One too many
Tarzan swings into his abode atop the tree and plonks down wearily on the cane chair. Jane is sitting there.
Tarzan looks at Jane and says, “Jane, give me a martini.” Jane give Tarzan a martini. Tarzan says, “Jane, give me one martini”. Jane does the needful. Tarzan asks for one more martini. Jane looks concernedly at Tarzan and says, “Tarzan, don’t you think it is one martini too many?”.
Tarzan looks at Jane and says, “You don’t understand Jane. It’s a jungle out there!”

The politician asks the question that’s on both their minds. “Why father, did you ask for us, when there are more loyal parishers.”
Bishop replies, “Jesus gave up his last breath between two thieves. I wish to do the same”.
