Father O´Grady was saying his good-byes to the parishioners after his Sunday morning service as he always does when Mary Clancey came up to him in tears.
"What´s bothering you, dear?" asked Farther O´Grady.

"Oh, father, I´ve got terrible news." Replied Mary. "My husband passed away last night."

"Oh, Mary!" said the good father. "That´s terrible. Tell me, Mary, did he have any last requests?"

"Yes...," Mary replied sheepishly.

"Well?"

"He said, ´Please, Mary, put down the gun.´"
