How easy it is for labels to stick!

You probably heard the story about the man who went to a catholic priest and said “Father, I want you to say a Mass for my dog”. The priest was indignant. “What do you mean, say a Mass for your dog? “It’s my pet dog” said the man. “I love that dog and I’d like to offer a Mass for him”. The priest said, “We don't do Masses for dogs here. You might try the denomination down the street. Ask them if they might have a service for you.” As the man was leaving, he said to the priest, “Too bad, I really loved that dog. I planned to offer a half-million pounds stipend for the Mass. And the priest said, “Wait a minute, you never told me your dog was catholic!”
