There were two Irish brothers, Liam and Shamus. These brothers were quite the hell raisers and were well reputed around town. Shamus died and Liam went about finding a priest who would eulogize Shamus. Liam, not being on a first name basis with any pastors, finally found a priest who was willing to do it for the right amount of money. After paying the priest, Liam said there was one condition, ......."you must refer to Shamus as a saint". The priest, knowing the reputation of Liam and Shamus, was hesitant but said he had a few days to prepare so he would come up with something.
At the funeral, the priest detailed the numerous misgivings of Shamus, concluding that Shamus was an insufferable human being, but compared to his brother, he was a saint!
