Mary Clancy goes up to Father O’Grady after his Sunday morning
service, and she’s in tears.

He says, “So what’s bothering you, dear?”

She says, “Oh, Father, I’ve got terrible news. My husband passed away
last night.”

The priest says, “Oh, Mary, that’s terrible. Tell me, Mary, did he
have any last requests?”

She says, “That he did, Father…”

The priest says, “What did he ask, Mary?”

She says, “He said, ‘Please, Mary, put down the Goddamn gun…’”
