Who can remember the Jesus-blind man joke in this film?


There was a good joke in this film but I only remeber there was something about Jesus and Mary and blind man? Can somebody write the full joke?
Can anyone help me here?

Hello Andras Pal,

I'm surprised this went unanswered for so long. I've been a bit busy myself. By chance I came across your thread. So here you go as best as to my recollection: This is Harry talking to his son Gus.


I want to tell you a story. Along time ago, in the time of the Bible, our Lord was traveling around with his mother, the Virgin Mary. This was just after he started the ‘Miracles’. They were traveling along and they came across a blind man sitting on the side of the road. The Virgin remarked about the man’s blindness.

Our Lord replied “Aye, he is blind. And even so his wife is carrying on with another man in the woods; so I will give him back his sight so he can see her.”

To which the Virgin replied, “If you give him back hi sight, give the woman an excuse.”

Our Lord gives the want, the blind man jumps to his feet, looks around in all directions, he can see. He looks into the forest and he sees his wife with the other man. She knows he sees her so she comes to him.

He says to her, “You were in those woods with that man!”

And she does not deny it. “Oh.” she says, “If I wasn’t in there, you wouldn’t have gotten you eye sight back!”

“Oh.” He replied.

That was her excuse.

I hope this is the story you were seeking.
