Confession Indescretion

'Bless me Father, for I have sinned. I have been with a loose girl'.

The priest asks, 'Is that you, little Joey Pagano

'Yes, Father, it is.'

'And who was the girl you were with?'
'I can't tell you, Father, I don't want to ruin her reputation'

Well, Joey, I'm sure to find out her name sooner or later so you may as
well
tell me now.

Was it Tina Minetti?'
'I cannot say.'

'Was it Teresa Mazzarelli?'
'I'll never tell.'

'Was it Nina Capelli?'
'I'm sorry, but I cannot name her.'

'Was it Cathy Piriano?'
'My lips are sealed.'

'Was it Rosa Di Angelo, then?'
'Please, Father, I cannot tell you.'

The priest sighs in frustration. 'You're very tight
lipped, Joey Pagano, and I admire that.

But you've sinned and have to atone. You cannot be an altar boy now for

4 months. Now you go and behave yourself.''

Joey walks back to his pew, and his friend Franco slides
over and whispers, 'What'd you get?'

'4 months vacation and five good leads.'

The New Priest

The new priest is nervous about hearing confessions, so he asks the older priest to sit in on his sessions.

The new priest hears a couple of confessions, then the
old priest asks him to step out of the confessional for a
few suggestions.

The old priest suggests, "Cross your arms over your chest,
and rub your chin with one hand.... and try saying things
like......... "Yes, I see," and "Yes, go on," and "I understand."

The new priest crosses his arms, rubs his chin with one
hand and repeats all the suggested remarks to the old priest.

The old priest says, "Now, don't you think that's a little
better than slapping your knee and saying,

"No shit ..... what happened next??"
