If you wanted to be a good priest

in an average size parish, you would be expected to

be a housekeeper (Father, the windowsills are dusty!)
day-care-center teacher, (Can you teach the three year olds about baptism?)
cook (Father is preparing his fabulous Jerk Chicken for the barbecue!)
computer operator (Father, have you updated our web-page?  And we aren't getting your emails.)
facilities manager (Father, can we have our baptismal party?  Can we bring beer?  No Balloons?)
van driver (Edna needs a ride to the doctor, Father.  Are you free on Wednesday?)
CEO (we can't pay the bills, Father.  Can you wait on your reimbursement check?)
and psychologist (Father, I want to kill my husband).

Thus, in order to be a good Father, you should probably be a Mom.

And the pay sould be $134 grand.

Hmm,maybe you need a wife - I happen to have two beautiful daughters...I also have just noticed that your site comes after my site for my favorite banana pudding recipes in my favorites. I am trying to figure out the relevance - I know that there is one there, somewhere...

Single, cute and a salsa dancer? Sounds delightful. Yes, I would do well having a lovely female partner.

You forgot to put in furnace repair person. After the church furnace fell apart Christmas Eve morning and we jury-rigged it to get through Epiphany when it finally died for good, after I was on my belly staring into the guts of the furnace that same morning, I hung up below my ordination certificates my late grand-father's 1945 license to 'operate unlimited steam boilers.'
