PATIENCE IS A VIRTUE

A priest buys a lawnmower at a garage sale. Back home, he pulls on the starter rope a few times with no results.

He storms back to the garage sale and tells the previous owner, “I can’t get the mower to start!”

“That’s because you have to curse to get it started,” says the man.

“I’m a man of the cloth. I don’t even remember how to curse.”

“You keep pulling on that rope and it’ll come back to you.”
