One day, there was a priest sitting in a pew with a very worried and nervous look, and another priest saw him and wondered what was wrong.
The second priest thought he should try to help, so he approached his distraught associate and asked him what was wrong.
“Well,” the first priest said, “have you ever heard of a Freudian Slip?”
“No,” said the other priest.
“Well,” said the first priest, “it’s when one slips and says something one is thinking, usually when it is the least opportune time.”
“Oh,” said the second priest, “so, what happened?”
“Well, today I performed a wedding, and you know the part when you say ‘I now pronounce you man and wife’?” asked the first priest.
“Yes?” said the second priest.
“Well, that is what I meant to say, and what I actually said was, “I now sentence you to death.”
