In Praise of Cards/Cubs September 2007 weekend...part 4

A Cardinals fan liked to amuse himself by scaring every Cubs fan he saw strutting down the street in an obnoxious Cubs jersey. He would swerve his van as if to hit them, then swerves back just missing them.

One day while driving along, he saw a priest. He thought he would do a good deed, so he pulled over and asked the priest, "Where are you going, Father?"

"I'm going to give Mass at St. Francis church, about two miles down the road," replied the priest.

"Climb in, Father" said the man, "I'll give you a lift!"

The priest climbed into the passenger seat and they continued down the road. Suddenly, the driver saw a Cubs fan walking down the road, and he instinctively swerved as if to hit him. But, as usual, he swerved back onto the road just in time.

Even though he was certain that he had missed the guy, he still heard a loud THUD. Not knowing where the noise came from, he glanced in his mirrors but still didn't see anything. He then remembered the priest, and he turned to the priest and said, "sorry Father, I almost hit that Cubs fan."

"That's OK," replied the priest "I got him with the door."
