A man confesses to a priest, "I stabbed twelve kids. Should I stop?" The priest replies, "Son, the penalty for murdering just ONE of God's children is eternal damnation!" A caption reads: Father James explained that I'd "be a sucker to stop now." In the votey aftercomic, a close-up of the grinning priest declares, "Ethics is about winning!" The joke is the priest reasoning that since the punishment is already maxed out, there's no incentive to stop killing.
