| Confessional A married man goes to
confessional and tells the priest, "I almost had an affair with a woman."
The priest asks, "What do you mean, almost?" "Well, we got undressed
and rubbed together, but then I stopped." The priest replies, "Rubbing
together is the same as putting it in. You're not to go near that woman again.
Now, say five Hail Mary's and put $50 in the poor box." The man leaves
confessional, says his prayers, and then walks over to the poor box. He pauses
for a moment and then starts to leave. The priest quickly runs over to
him and says, "I saw that. You didn't put any money in the poor box!"
"Well, Father, I rubbed up against it and you said it was the same as putting
it in." |
