Scare enough to turn you Christian

Father O’Riely and father O’Brien

 

 

Father O’Brien.

Yes father O’Riely.

Have you seen the Exorcist father O’Brien?

I don’t dare to see that particular firm father O’Riely. O no, that’s not my kind of film.

O well … I’ve seen it five times father.

O … what’s it like then father O’Riely?

O it’s really great, especially when the devil spews all this green vomit over the priest. And I really love the scene when …

O.K. father O’Riely, your scaring the devil’s out of me now,

I joined the priest hood to drive thoughts like that out of my head, will you stop talking this way this instant?

Hail Mary, full of grace, our Lord is with thee …

Sorry father O’Brien, I didn’t think you’d react like that!!!

I’ll go with father O’Hair, he says he wouldn’t mind seeing it.
