Cheating is no easy task


I'm not gonna bother you again with my usual tune "Father Ted" is the best tv comedy show ever. Better than anything, Better than sex... uuuh... maybe not than sex! No, i'm not gonna do that this time because in all honesty, IT IS.

Anyway...
Now, for those of you unaware of the wonderfully insane world of the irish catholic clergy, here's a short summary:
3 irish catholic priests have been exiled for various misdeeds on a small remote island - Craggy Island.
- the eponymous father Ted Crilly, a crook
- father Dougal McGuire, an idiot
- father Jack Hackett, a perv and a drunkard with a 4 words vocabulary:
drink, feck, arse, girls
... and mrs Doyle, their demented housekeeper with an obsession for tea and sandwiches.

In this episode "Think fast father Ted", the parochial house has a leaky roof. The obvious solution is to repair it, but the priests are broke. So, in order to find some money, Ted decides to organize a raffle. But not any ordinary raffle, oh no. A rigged one! As Ted says: "... it wouldn't be cheating really. It would just be structuring the raffle in such a way that the return comes to the benefactor, rather than the beneficiaries." So here goes the raffle, with booze, broken car and dancing priest.
