father O'Brien goes to the doctor as he isn't feeling well... The doctor gives him a full physical. The priest is showing all the signs of too much stress, high blood pressure, etc. The doctor suggests that the priest learn to calm down - maybe take a drink every so often. The priest interrupts him, ""No - Mrs Brown who minds the Rectory won't have it! She is dead set against drink."" The doctor replies, ""She doesn't have to know. Buy a bottle of whiskey, keep it with your shaving supplies, and every day when you shave, have a drink."" A few weeks go by and father O'Brien and Mrs Brown are walking down the main street. father O'Brien ducks into a shop and Mrs Brown waits outside. The doctor is walking by and sees Mrs Brown, ""How is father O'Brien feeling?"". Mrs Brown gushes, ""My goodness, doctor, he is like a new man ever since he saw you! There is a spring in his step, a twinkle in his eye, color in his cheeks."" The doctor replies, ""That's great!"". Mrs Brown says, ""There's only one problem though, doctor. I think he might be going a bit senile."" ""oh no"" says the doctor, ""what makes you say that?"". Mrs Brown replies, ""He's shaving 7 or 8 times a day!""
