Selective Amnesia

Death wish

The Bishop of a small town is dying. He sends for the Local Politician and the plumber to his bedside.

After a small lecture, and a prayer, the Bishop is almost dead. He asks his two visitors to sit on either side of him and hold his hand. The two are touched by the Bishop’s gesture. And a little confused too. For all his life, the Bishop had been their worst critic.

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”.
