The Confession of an Altar Boy

An oldie for sure-- but a classic!

Little Joey the altar boy enters the confessional.  "Bless me Father, for I have sinned. I have been with a loose girl."
The priest asks, "Is that you, little Richie Sumner?"
"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 DiAngelo, then?"
"Please, Father, I cannot tell you."

The priest sighs in frustration. "You're very tight lipped, and I admire that. But you've sinned and you need to atone. You are banned from being an altar boy for 4 months. Now you go and behave yourself."

Joey walks back to his pew, where his friend Franco slides over and whispers furtively, "So what did you get?"

"Four months vacation and five good leads!"
