Joke going around Victoria Seychelles

LATEST JOKE TO BE HEARD ALL AROUND VICTORIA SEYCHELLES - PASS IT ON

  

Last Saturday afternoon in Victoria, an aide to President James Michel visited a priest at the Catholic cathedral.  She told the Bishop that the President would be attending the next day's Mass, and she asked if the priest would kindly point him out to the congregation and say a few good words that would include calling James a saint.

The Priest replied, "No. I don't really like the man, and there are issues of conflict with the Catholic Church over certain of his views. Plus, he took part in the violent Coup D'etat that killed people, including the brother of an Anglican priest. He also tried very hard to destroy the church and also got rid of all the nuns at Regina Mundi convent and the Brothers of Christian Instruction at the Seychelles College. This president is an atheist and only pretends to be a Catholic."

James' aide then said, "Look, I will write a cheque here and now for a donation of SR500,000 to the church if you'll just tell the congregation you see President Michel as a saint."

The good priest thought about it and said, "Well, the Church can definitely use the money, so I'll work your request into tomorrow's sermon."

As the aide promised, President Michel appeared for the Sunday worship and seated himself prominently at the forward left side of the centre aisle, along with soon to be wife number three and a few red-eyed, tequila-smelling ministers in tow.

As the Bishop promised, at the start of his sermon he pointed out that Mr. Michel was present.  The Bishop went on to explain to the congregation: 

"While President Michel's presence is probably an honour to some, the man is not numbered among my personal favourite personages. Some of his most egregious views are contrary to tenets of the Church, and he tends to flip-flop on many other issues. He is a petty, self-absorbed hypocrite, a thumb-sucker, and a nit-wit. He is also a serial liar, a cheat, and a thief. I must say, President Michel is the worst example of a Christian I have ever personally witnessed. He is corrupt and has used State money to lie to the people just to remain in power. He also has a reputation for liking Muslims over his own Seychellois kind and shirking his representative obligations. He does not believe in justice and is more corrupt than Rene and Mukesh put together. The man is simply not to be trusted and I believe he might be a converted Muslim based on the number of visits to Abu Dhabi lately."

The Bishop concluded, ”But, compared to Joel Morgan, the man is definitely a Saint."  

The aide, Michel, Bastienne and Morgan all fainted!  L'eau de carme anyone?
