the Irishman, and the priest
A married Irishman went into the confessional and said
>to his priest, "I almost had an affair with another woman."
>
>The priest said, "What do you mean, almost?"
>
>The Irishman said, "Well, we got undressed and rubbed
>together, but then I stopped."
>
>The priest said, "Rubbing together is the same as
>putting 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 Irishman left the confessional, said his prayers,
>and then walked over to the poor box. He paused for a
>moment and then started to leave.
>w
>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 Irishman replied, "Yeah, but I rubbed the $50 on
>the box, and according to you, that's the same as putting it in."
