A nun is fishing in a stream when suddenly she catches a large and strange looking fish. A nearby fisherman sees this and calls out to the nun, “That’s the biggest Goddam Fish I’ve ever seen.” The shocked nun proceeds to lecture the fisherman on his foul language. The fisherman laughs and tells the nun that “Goddam Fish” is the proper biological name for that species. The nun apologizes and takes the fish back to the parish chapel. She sees the Mother Superior and shows the fish to her with pride, “Mother Superior, look at this Goddam Fish that I caught!!” After the Mother Superior berates the nun for using the Lord’s name in vain, she hears the explanation from the nun. The Mother Superior says “Well, if that’s the name, so be it, I’ll clean it for our dinner.” As she heads to the kitchen she runs into the Monsignor. When the Monsignor asks what’s for dinner, the Mother Superior replies “We’re having this Goddam Fish for dinner.” The Monsignor cries out, “Mother Superior, a woman of the cloth like you using such language.” The Mother Superior calmly explains the fish’s name to the Monsignor whereupon the Monsignor says, “Well, after you clean it, give it to me so I can cook it up.”
Showing up for dinner is a young priest coming to his first parish. Upon tasting the fish, he said “This is the tastiest fish I have ever eaten!!” The nun beams with pride and says “Well, I caught that Goddam Fish.” The Mother Superior adds, “And I cleaned and prepared that Goddam Fish.” The Monsignor then says “I cooked that Goddam Fish in my own special recipe.”
The young priest laughs, slams his fist on the table and says, “Man, I like this fuckin’ place already!!!”
