Priceless, Indeed!

I'm not a big fan of Andrew Sullivan, but he's one of the few readable conservative voices out there. He posts this today.

EMAIL OF THE DAY: This little Christmas anecdote made me laugh. An old high school friend from England emailed me about it today:

One of my nephews, Dominic, was in a Nativity Play. In the scene where Mary and Joseph arrive at the Inn, Mary asks the Innkeeper, played by a lad of seven, if he has any room. "Yes", he says. "Mary, you can come in, but Joseph, you can fuck off".

In the stunned silence that followed, it transpired that the Innkeeper had played Joseph himself the previous year and had taken his 'demotion' very much to heart.

Priceless.
