Mr Cody was a well-known rector of a Protestant church. One day
he had been playing golf and after having a shower he was resting
in the club room, dressed in a bathrobe. A stranger comes in,
looks at him and tries in vain to remember who this guy is.
Finally, he asks: -Where in Hell have I seen you before? Cody:
-I don't know. Which part of Hell are you from?
