Not bad. I have a 'clerical version' of that story. A closely observant Parish Priest had the feeling that his curate was cutting corners in recital of 'The Divine Office', considered a serious offence, and binding under 'pain of mortal sin'. Upon leaving for vacation he told the curate to do a refurbishing job on the main altar tabernacle, and give him a report.
Upon PP's return, question soon arose about the work on tabernacle. Young man sez, "Father, I wanted to get it done, but hunted everywhere for the tabernacle key and it was not to be found anywhere". P.P.: "Well, that's strange"; I left it where I was sure you should find it---IN YOUR BREVIARY".
