Purgatory & Matrimony. A Priest was showing off Lis class in the presence of the Bishop and asked a little chap: What is Matrimony? With bulging eyes the boy responded: Matrimony is a state of punishment to which some souls are condemned to suffer for awhile before they are considered good enough to go to heaven! "Tut, tut," said the Priest; 'that's the definition of Purgatory!" "Let him alone," said the Bishop; "he may be right! What do you and I know about it,' anyway." Pretty good! But we dont want our readers to take any stock of it. Of course there may be some couples who are undergoing tortures in the married state, but the majority are enjoying it and wouldn't go back to single blessedness for all the tea in China!
