A group of young men lived in a church hostel run by an elderly priest who was famous for his strict rules.
Every night before bed, Father Michael would remind them:
“Remember, this is a church hostel. No loud music, no parties, and absolutely no visitors after 10 p.m.!”
The boys would nod obediently.
One morning at breakfast, Father Michael looked very tired.
“Last night,” he announced, “someone was laughing loudly in Room 12 at 2 a.m. Who was it?”
Nobody spoke.
“Fine,” said the priest. “Then perhaps someone can explain why I heard a woman’s voice saying, ‘You’re the most handsome man I’ve ever met!’”
The dining hall went completely silent.
Finally, Tommy raised his hand.
“Father, I think I can explain.”
“Go ahead.”
“Well, you see, last night we were all gathered in Room 12 telling jokes.”
Father Michael frowned.
“And the woman’s voice?”
Tommy smiled.
“That was Kevin’s new phone.”
“His phone?”
“Yes, Father. It has an AI assistant.”
The priest looked suspicious.
“So why would an AI assistant call him the most handsome man she’d ever met?”
Tommy shrugged.
“That’s exactly why we were laughing so hard. Even the artificial intelligence was clearly malfunctioning!”
The entire dining hall burst into laughter.
Even Father Michael couldn’t help smiling.
“Very funny,” he said. “But what about the voice that shouted, ‘Take me in your arms, handsome!’?”
Tommy grinned.
“Oh, that was the AI again.”
The priest raised an eyebrow.
“And why would it say that?”
Tommy replied,
“Because Kevin spent three hours asking it how to get a girlfriend. The poor thing finally decided to help him personally!”
For the first time in years, Father Michael laughed so hard that he nearly dropped his coffee.
“Kevin,” he said, wiping tears from his eyes, “if even the computer feels sorry for you, I’ll add you to our prayer list immediately!” 😂
