St. Peter and His Keys
Curran and Father O’Leary were dining with Michael Kelly when the barrister said: “Reverend Father, I wish you were St. Peter.” “And why, Counsellor, would you wish I were St. Peter?” asked O’Leary. “Because, Reverend Father, in that case you would have the keys of heaven, and could let me in.” “By my honour and conscience, Counsellor,” answered O’Leary, “it would be better for you if I had the keys of the other place, for then I could let you out.”
