The elderly Italian man went to his parish priest, and asked if the priest
>>>would hear his confession. "Of course, my son", said the priest,
>>>"Well, Father, at the beginning of World War Two, a beautiful woman
>>>knocked on my door and asked me to hide her from the Germans.
>>>I hid her in my attic, and they never found her."
>>>"That's a wonderful thing, my son, and nothing that you need to confess",
>>>said the priest.
>>>It's worse, Father. I was weak, and told her that she had to pay for
>>>rent of the attic with her sexual favors", continued the old man.
>>>"Well, it was a very difficult time, and you took a large risk --
>>>you would have suffered terribly at their hands if the Germans
>>>had found you hiding her. I know that God, in his wisdom and mercy, will
>>>balance the good and the evil, and judge you kindly," said the priest.
>>>"Thanks, Father", said the old man. "That's a load off of my mind.
>>>Can I ask another question?"
>>> Of course, my son", said the priest.
>>>The old man asked "Do I need to tell her that the war is
>>>over?"
