Little Ernie is pulling his new cart past the local priest, when one of the wheels falls off.
"Shit!" says Ernie.
"Young man," scolds the priest severely, "don't you ever say that again. If something goes wrong, you say, `Help me, Lord,' instead. Do you understand?"
"Okay, Father," says Ernie. But the very next day, a second wheel falls off just as the priest is walking by.
"Shit!" says Ernie.
"What did I tell you?" shouts the priest.
"Okay, okay!" says Ernie.
Two days later, the remaining two wheels fall off. The priest happens to be in the bushes, listening carefully.
"Help me, Lord," says Ernie. And immediately all four wheels jump back on the cart.
The priest leaps out of the bushes in amazement, and cries,
"Shit!"
