This is a good one our priest told us to lead into his sermon about private interpretations of Scripture...

There was a man who was living a sinful life and he realized he needed to change his life. So he says to himself he will get his bible and open it to a random page and read the first thing he sees to get some direction for his life. So, he opens the bible and the first passage he comes to is..."And Judas went off and hung himself."

He thought...that's not the kind of advice he was looking for so he figured he would give it another try. So he opens the bible again and the passage he comes to is..."Go and do likewise."

He says to himself, well this isn't turning out too good but I will give it one more try. So he opens the bible up again and this time he reads, "What you must do, do quickly."

And this is why we have Holy Mother Church to interpret Scripture for us because obviously the bible is not meant to be read the way this guy read it.
