An old priest was getting sick and tired of all the people in his parish
who kept confessing adultery. One Sunday in the pulpit he said, "If I
hear one more person confess to adultery, I'll quit!"

Everyone liked him, so the parishioners came up with a code word.
Someone who had committed adultery would say they had "fallen". This
seemed to satisfy the old priest and things went well, until the priest
died at a ripe old age.

About a week after the new priest arrived, he visited the Mayor of the
town and seemed very concerned. The priest said, "You have to do
something about the sidewalks in town. When people come into the
confessional, they keep talking about having fallen." The Mayor started
to laugh, realizing that no one had told the new priest about the code
word.

The priest shook an accusing finger at the mayor and said, "I don't know
what you're laughing about. Your wife fell three times this week."
