IN A MANNER OF SPEAKING
This married man goes to confessional and he tells the priest,
"I had an
affair with a woman... almost."
The priest says, "What do you mean, almost?"
The man says "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 Marys and
put $50
in the poor box."
The man leaves the confessional, goes over and says his prayers, then
walks
over to the poor box. He pauses for a moment and then starts to leave.
The priest, who was watching him, quickly runs over to him and says,
"I
saw that, you didn't put any money in the poor box!"
The man replied, "Well Father, I rubbed up against it and you
said it was
the same as putting it in!"
