The Priest Should Have Been More Careful With His Words
A married man went into the confessional and said to his priest,
“I almost had an aff@ir with another woman.”
The priest said, “What do you mean, almost?”
The man said, “Well, we got undre-ssed, cl*mbed into bed, and r*bbed together, but then I stopped.”
The priest said, “R*bbing together is the same as put-ting it in. You’re not to see that woman again.”
“For your penance, say five Hail Mary’s, and put $50 in the poor box.”
The man left the confessional, said his Hail Mary’s, and then walked over to the poor box.
He paused for a moment, and then started to leave.
The priest, who was watching, quickly ran over to him saying,
“I saw that, you didn’t put any money in the poor box!”
The man replied,
“Yeah, but I rubbed the $50 on the box, and according to you,”…
“That’s the same as putting it in!”
