Confessional

[Marty_d]

It was a busy time at the confessional when the bishop remembered an urgent meeting. He took the young trainee priest aside and said, "My son - I really need to go. Please take over in the confessional for a while."

 

The trainee was taken aback and said "But Father - I don't know the penances!"

 

The bishop was prepared. "It's ok - I've hung a list on the inside wall. All the main sins and their penances are on it." As an altar boy went past he grabbed him. "Timmy, you help Brother John with confessional". Glancing quickly at his watch, he patted them both on the back and left.

 

The trainee priest went into the confessional and Timmy waited outside.

 

The first sinner, an attractive young woman, entered the booth. "Father forgive me, for I have sinned."

 

"What is your sin?" asked the priest.

 

"I gave a blow job to someone who was not my husband."

 

The priest looked down the list, but couldn't see "blow job" anywhere. Opening the door he whispered to the altar boy "Timmy, what does the Bishop give for a blow job??"

 

Timmy thought for a second and replied "Usually a can of Coke and a Mars bar!!"
