Joke

The Church was celebrating its 100th anniversary, and several former pastors and the bishop were in attendance.
At one point, the priest had the children gather for a talk about the importance of the day.
He began by asking, “Does anyone know what the bishop does?”
There was silence.
Finally, one little boy answered , “He’s the one you can move diagonally.”
