One I heard today, but have no means of verifying. If it's not true, it ought to be.

Everyone at the dinner is bored to tears of frustration by the interminable, unremittingly dull speech. Someone from the cheap seats decides to act, and shies a bottle at the speaker. But (possibly because of what had been in the bottle) he misses, and hits the padre, knocking him out. As the speaker drones on, those seated beside the padre check he's okay and haul him back to a sitting position. He comes round, and says, just loud enough to be heard by his immediate neighbours, "Do it again. I can still hear him."
