“Father, can I ask you something personal?”
The priest hesitated but nodded. “Of course, Sister.”
She whispered,
“Why do priests always walk so calmly, but monks walk so fast?”
The priest thought for a moment and said,
“Well, monks take a vow of silence, so they walk fast to avoid conversations.”
The nun nodded and smiled.
“Ah… that explains why bishops walk slowly. They enjoy the conversations too much.”
