Jesus and the Cadillac

   
   "Jesus and the Cadillac"
    
   My Pap told me this in the late 1980's--the joke taking place approximately in the early 1960's, something he heard along the work line, when Dobie Gillis was All the Rage, driving coal trucks and pumping the brakes, my Pap.  It went like this, BTW, he was a Pittsburgh man, born and bred; anyway, here goes:
   After the strategic art of mystic Mass, a Priest finds a Lady's purse; next, looks through the purse to make a noble attempt to identify her.   Finds a driver's license and a pack of cigarettes.  He calls her; moreover, tells her about her lost treasure, and she wends her way to the Catholic Church to pick up her precious materials.
   When she arrives, the Priest gives the Lady a classy but sanctimonious look, saying:  "You know, the Virgin Mary never smoked."
   She took the purse with a firm grip; then, hotly yet humbly retorted:  "And Jesus Christ never drove a Cadillac."
   Yup, that was from a Serbian Pap, back in the Virginia days.
