A man goes into the confessional and says, "Bless me Father, for I have sinned. I work at a lumber yard and I stole some of the lumber." The priest says, "Stealing is a very serious sin. You must make it right and say three Hail Mary's." The next week the same man enters and confesses, "Father, I did it again. I took some more lumber home from the lumber yard." The priest says, "Well, this mustn't go on. Make amends and pray a Rosary for penance." The next week he enters again and confesses, "Father, forgive me. I don't know what gets into me, but I stole some more lumber from work." The priest thinks a bit and says, "Well, this is very serious and calls for drastic measures." He asks the man, "Do you know how to make a novena?" The man smiles and answers, "No father, but if you've got the plans, I've got the lumber!"

Yeah, I actually laughed out loud when I heard it and I'm usually just a smiler. Okay, here's an oldy but a goody and it's slightly profane so I hope the Elders don't edit it:

A priest and a rabbi are on a plane together. The captain comes over the intercom and informs the passengers that the plane has lost power and that they have only minutes to live. The rabbi turns to the priest and offers his hand in condolence, but the priest says, "You know, the emergency exit is right there. If we stay onboard we will surely die, but if we jump perhaps our faith in the Lord will preserve us." So they open the emergency door, jump out, and plummet to the ground. Just before they hit they both stop miraculously in mid-air and waft gently to the surface. The first thing the rabbi does is make an exaggerated sign of the cross. The priest says, "Glory be, you've been converted!" The rabbi replies, "Convoited, what convoited? Spectacles, testicles, wallet and watch!"
