	 A local church had had part of its roof blown off in a recent
hurricane, so the priests called in a construction crew to fix it.  One
afternoon, as the workers were sitting on the roof, gathered around the
hole, eating lunch, one of them noticed an old woman kneeling before the
altar.  "Hey, watch this!" said the worker to the rest of the crew, and,
leaning over the hole, whispered "Jesus Christ hears your prayers."
	The workers began to chuckle, but there was no response from the
old woman.  The one person tried it again, slightly louder.
	"Jesus Christ hears your prayers!"
	Still no response. The rest of the workers could barely keep
themselves from bursting out laughing.  The one man tried it once more,
louder still.
	"Jesus Christ hears your prayers!"
	Whereupon the old lady looked up, exasperated, and yelled,
	"Shut up, I'm talking to your mother!"
