Drunken priest goes on rampage
2004-11-17
"Run! Father Josip's been in the altar wine again!"
A CROATIAN priest beat a member of his parish, threatened others with a rifle and crashed his car in a night of drunken rage, press reports said today. After an overnight quarrel in a restaurant in the central town of Slunj on Saturday , Josip Stefancic punched a guest in the face, cutting his eye, the Vecernji List daily reported. The priest, known in his parish as the Sheriff, then took a rifle and threatened other guests before fleeing in his car and crashing into a tree. When police arrived at the scene he refused a breath test. Police have pressed several charges. "I admit that I have made a mistake. However, everyone makes mistakes, politicians and even the Pope," said Stefancic who was, according to press reports, already involved in a series of similar incidents.
even the Pope ... oh, renouncing his religion, is he?

#7  On a student trip there, oh about 20+ years ago, a drunk truck driver tried to kidnap one of the blond guys in our group. It was quite funny for the spectators, as we had quite a bit of slivovice running through our veins.

After you finish telling him your sins in confession, he sez "Ya'll in a heap of trouble, boy!"
