I trained to be a priest - started to. I went to seminary school when I was 11. I wanted to be a priest, but when they told me I could never have sex, not even on my birthday, I changed my mind.

In this self-deprecating anecdote, Vegas riffs on the tension between youthful idealism and adult appetites. The line begins with a sincere-sounding vocational aspiration—training for the priesthood—then undercuts it with a blunt, comic reason for abandoning the path: the Church’s requirement of celibacy. The “not even on my birthday” tag is a classic stand-up exaggeration, heightening the absurdity and revealing how desire, bodily life, and humor collide with institutional discipline. Beyond the joke, it gestures at how early religious formation can be real and intense, yet later reinterpreted through the lens of sexuality and personal freedom.
