A religious experience
A truck driver used to amuse himself by running over lawyers he would see walking across the streets on Courthouse Square. Every time he would see a lawyer walking along in the street or crossing the intersection, he would swerve to hit him, and there would be a loud "THUMP" and then he would swerve back on the road.
One day, as the truck driver was driving along, he saw a priest hitchhiking close to town. He thought he would do a good turn and pulled the truck over. He asked the priest, "Where are you going, Father?"
"My car broke down and I am heading to the hospital to tend to the sick and infirm," replied the priest.
"No problem, Father! I'll give you a lift."
"May God bless you for this favor," said the grateful cleric. The happy priest climbed into the passenger seat and the truck driver continued down the road. As the truck driver was going past Courthouse Square, he saw a lawyer standing at the intersection waiting for the traffic light to change. Instinctively, the truck driver swerved to hit him. But then he remembered there was a priest in the truck with him; so at the last minute he swerved back to the road, narrowly missing the lawyer. However, even though he was certain he missed the lawyer, he still heard a loud "THUD".
Not understanding where the noise came from 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!"
