Celestial Reviews 269 - March 25, 1998 Note: A woman starts dating a married doctor. Before too long, she becomes pregnant, and they don't know what to do. About nine months later, just about the time she is going to give birth, a priest goes into the hospital for a prostate gland infection. The doctor says to the woman, "I know what we'll do. After I've operated on the priest, I'll give the baby to him and tell him it was a miracle." "Do you think it will work?" she asks the doctor. "It's worth a try," he says. So the doctor delivers the baby and then operates on the priest. After the operation he goes in to the priest and says, "Father, you're not going to believe this. You gave birth to a child." "But that's impossible!" "I just did the operation," insists the doctor. "It's a miracle! Here's your baby." About fifteen years go by, and the priest realizes that he must tell his son the truth. One day he sits the boy down and says, "Son, I have something to tell you. I'm not your father." The son says, "What do you mean, you're not my father?" The priest replies, "I'm your mother. The archbishop is your father." Second note: Becky was on her deathbed, with her husband Jake at her side. As he held her cold hand, tears silently streamed down his face. Her pale lips moved. "Jake," she said. "Hush," he quickly interrupted, "don't talk." But she insisted. "Jake," she said in her tired voice. "I have to talk. I must confess." "There is nothing to confess," said the weeping Jake. "It's all right. Everything's all right." "No, no. I must die in peace. I must confess, Jake, that I have been unfaithful to you." Jake stroked her hand. "Now Becky, don't be concerned. I know all about it," he sobbed. "Why else would I poison you?" Third note: "Something Borrowed" looks like a story that is worth reviewing, but it's very long, and I don't have time to do it myself. Because of its length, I am also hesitant to ask one of my guest reviewers to review it. Is there anyone out there willing to take a shot at giving this story an objective review? If so, please contact me. Fourth note: There were some typos in CR 268. The "review" of "And Now, Introducing..." was incoherent scribbling that was left there by mistake. In addition, "Bimmy; had contradictory ratings. The actual ratings should have been 9, 9, 9. Final note: Remember: even though someone else may be posting my reviews for me, my e-mail address is still Celeste801@aol.com. - Celeste |
