Reply #23: A bishop visits an Anglican parish...

[pelagius]

...and the priest, knowing the bishop to be a convivial sort, invites him to the rectory for spot of Scotch and some conversation. Also present is the young curate.

The priest pours the bishop about two fingers worth and turns to do the same for curate.

But the young man, of an evangelical bent, puts his hand over the glass and pronounces, "I'd sooner commit adultery."

Raising the glass to his lips, the bishop takes a sip, and sighs, "Wouldn't we all, son, wouldn't we all?"
