Quadam vespere coetus religiosorum mixtus Officium Divinum una
canebant quapiam in paroecia cum lux repente deficit. Benedictinus
canere pergit, nulla nota omissa, quod quidem nihilo setius memoria
tenebat. Franciscanus tenebras sororias magna voce salvere jubet.
Dominicanus percontatur quid sit lux. Jesuita demiratur si tum ex
officio absolvendo eximantur. Parochus interea globulum electricum
mutat.

One evening a group of religious were singing the Divine Office in a
parish when the light abruptly went out. The Benedictine didn't miss a
note, as of course he knew it all by heart anyway. The Franciscan
exclaimed, "Welcome, Brother Darkness!" The Dominican mused, "What,
then, is the nature of Light?" The Jesuit wondered whether they were
all now dispensed from saying the office. And the parish priest
changed the light bulb.
