Donation.

[wildwood]

Father O'Malley answers the phone. 'Hello, is this Father O'Malley?'

'It is!'

'This is the Internal Revenue Service . Can you help us?'

'I can!'

'Do you know a Ted Houlihan?'

'I do!'

'Is he a member of your congregation?'

'He is!'

'Did he donate $10,000 to the church?'

'He will.'

boxtop/bluebirdino, apparantly Ted Houlihan has claimed a $10,000 tax exemption for the donation he SAID he made. IRS is checking up on him and thus Father O'Malley can be assured that he WILL donate (or he will be shopped to the IRS for a false claim).

this BEFORE reading .?

The punchline "He will" says it all.
