Confession 5

There was this old priest who got tired of hearing confessions of adultery. One Sunday he snapped in the pulpit: “If I hear that word one more time, I’m quitting!”

The parishioners liked him, so they came up with a code. Instead of saying “adultery,” they’d say they had “fallen.” The priest was satisfied, and everything went smoothly… until he passed away at a ripe old age.

A week later, the new priest arrived and paid a visit to the mayor few days later. He looked worried. “Mr. Mayor, you’ve got to fix the roads and sidewalks in this town. Every time someone comes into confession, they tell me they’ve fallen!”

The mayor burst out laughing—he knew nobody had explained the code. But before he could say a word, the priest wagged his finger and said, “I don’t know what’s so funny. Your wife fell three times this week… and your daughter fell twice!”
