MISSIONARY PUN
--------------

A missionary bishop had a diocese of numerous islands in the South
Pacific. The largest island remained outside his see because the natives
were under the influence of a fanatic sect.

The island king felt so strongly about it he declared that if the bishop
ever landed on his shore, he would have him for dinner. At the same
time, the cannibal king was not so primitive he did not know the value
of education and thus his son was even then at Oxford studying
Shakespeare and becoming aware that even bishops were inedible.

The king died and the son went home to be crowned. As part of his
inauguration the young king invited the bishop to come to his island
when he would present him with a certificate personally, permitting the
bishop to establish a mission there.

When the bishop's party waded ashore it was met by the new monarch,
surrounded by his warriors. Nervously, an archdeacon in the bishop's
group said, "I hope you don't intend to roast our bishop."

"No, no, no," his majesty said, "I come to bear his see, sir, not to
braise him."
