Joseph
O'Riley goes into the confessional box and says, "Bless me Father, for
I have sinned. I have been with a loose woman."
Priest:
"Is that you, little Joseph O'Riley?"
Joseph:
"Yes Father, It is."
Priest:
"Who was this woman you were with?"
Joseph:
"I cannot tell you Father, because I don't want to ruin her reputation."
Priest:
"Was it Lisa Michelle Smith?"
Joseph:
"No".
Priest:
"Was it Mary Jane Wilson?"
Joseph:
"No."
Priest:
"Was it Susan Marie Johnson?"
Joseph:
"No".
Priest:
"Was it Shannon Marie O'Donald?"
Joseph:
"No".
Priest:
"Was it Kathy Ann Kennedy?"
Joseph:
"No, Father! I cannot tell you."
The
priest finally gives up and says, "Joseph, I admire your perseverance,
but you must atone for your sins. Your penance will be three Hail Mary's and
four Our Fathers. Go back to your pew".
Joseph
walks back to his pew and his friend, John, slides over and whispers, "What
happened?"
Joseph:
"Well, I got three Hail Mary's, four Our Fathers, and five good leads."
