A young man goes into a confessional box in a Church in Ireland and says: "Bless me, father, for I have sinned; I have been with a loose and immoral woman.
The priest says, "is that you, Thomas O'Rourke?"
"Yes", replied the young man, "it is I father."
"Tell me Thomas, who was the loose immoral woman you were with?"
"I cannot tell you, father, because I do not want to ruin her reputation."
The priest asks, "Was it Brenda O'Malley??"
"No, father, it was not." The priest says, "let me see, ahhhhh, was it Mary Elizabeth O'Shea?"
"No, father it was not, and please don't ask me to tell you her name again."
"Oh, come on Thomas, you can tell me; was it Mary Catherine
McGillicuty?"
"No, father, it was NOT!! Please father, I cannot tell you the name of this loose, immoral woman and if you ask me again I will have to leave!!"
The priest finally says, "Okay, Thomas, I admire and
respect your perseverance, you are a true gentleman. I won't ask again, but you must atone for your sins. Your penance will be Four Our Fathers and Five Hail Mary's, now go back to your seat."
Thomas walks back to his pew and his buddy, Sean,
slides over and whispers, "What happened?" Thomas replied: "I got Four Our Fathers,
Five Hail Marys and three damn good Leads!!!!" |
