St Nicholas Planas of Athens

He ate every night. He fasted from oil every lenten period. As a confessor he was not strict about fasting, though when it concerned himself, he was very strick. One day someone gave him a little chocolate and told him it was fastworthy. He took it in his hand, looked at it closely and said, “Just to be sure, take it back!”

Another time some people where discussing politics at a certain house. “So, what do you say, Father?” they asked him. Once he recovered from the depth of his thought, he wanted to say something. “Who is governing now?”

Thanks to FWD from Peter Elgohary.
