Seven priests walked into a bar and were asked to leave because the bar staff thought they were part of a stag party, and they don't serve large groups in fancy dress.

I cannot really blame them for making the mistake - its not often you get seven priests going to the pub together with no-one else, but they obviously get a lot of large groups in fancy dress.
Just putting on a black shirt and a dog collar would be a rather unambitious fancy dress for a stag party though.

Reminds me of the Vicar and Maid fancy dress do's from the late 60's early 70's that were all the rage in some of the pubs.
