One day the pastor invited his new young assistant pastor to have dinner at the rectory. While being served, the young pastor noticed how shapely and lovely the young housekeeper was.

Maybe he was spending each night on his knees.
By the way, thanks for the link to the book geek quiz. I am working my way through it, chuckling ruefully as I answer 'yes' to most.
