A truckdriver saw a priest hitchhiking. He thought he would do a good turn and pulled the truck over. "No problem, Father! I'll give you a lift. Climb in the truck."
The happy priest climbed into the passenger seat and the truck driver continued down the road. Suddenly the driver saw a lawyer he recognised, from court, when he received a fine once, walking down the road and instinctively swerved to hit him. But he remembered there was a priest in the truck with him, so at the last minute he swerved back away, narrowly missing the lawyer. But even though he was sure he missed the lawyer he still heard a loud "THUMP". He glanced in his mirrors and when he didn't see anything, he turned to the priest and said, "I'm sorry Father. I almost hit that lawyer."
"That's okay," replied the priest. "I got him with the door!"
