The entitlements of being a Greek priest


Greek priests can look very formidable in their robes and all, but once you get to know them, they’re just regular guys with entitlements. This is my friend Stratos and his friend the priest, hanging out at a cafe on a Greek island. 
Here are a few things I know about the priest: He’s married with children. He has to wear his robes in public, even when he goes fishing with Stratos. He parks wherever he pleases, according to Stratos, and if he gets a ticket, he ignores it.
“Oh,” I said, “you mean he writes it on his balls?”
“Exactly!” Stratos said, laughing.
When a Greek doesn’t give a damn about something, he says, “I’m going to write it on my balls,” or just "on my balls." In Greek, it looks like this: Στα αρχίδια μου.
There’s another priest on the island who is often discovered having sex in public, always with a different woman. The things these guys get away with!
