THE CONFESSIONAL





Tommy goes into a confessional box and says, "Bless me,
Father, for I have sinned; I have been with a loose woman".

The Priest says, "Is that you, Tommy?"

"Yes father, it's me."

"Who was the woman you were with?"

"I cannot tell you, Father, because I don't want to
ruin her reputation."

The priest asks, "Was it Brenda O'Malley?"  "No, Father."

"Was it Fiona MacDonald?"  "No."

"Was it Ann Brown?"  "No."

"Was it Mary Elizabeth O'Shea?"  "No, Father."

"Was it Amy Thomas?"  "No, Father."

"Was it little Cathy Morgan?"  "NO, Father!
I cannot tell you."

The priest finally says, "Tommy, I admire your perseverance,
but you must atone for your sins.  Your penance will be
four Our Fathers and five Hail Marys. Go back to your seat."

Tommy walks back to his pew and his buddy, Sean,
slides over and whispers,  "What happened?!"

"Well, I got four Our Fathers, five Hail Marys and
six good leads."
