Timmy: "Bless me Father, for I have sinned. I have been with a loose woman. "
The priest asks, "Is that you, little Timmy Shaughnessy?"
Timmy: "Yes, Father, it is."
Priest: "And, who was the woman you were with?"
Timmy: "I can't be tellin' you, Father. I don't want to ruin her reputation."
Priest: "Well, Timmy, I'm sure to find out sooner or later, so you may as well tell me now. Was it Brenda O'Malley? "
Timmy: "I cannot say."
Priest: "Was it Patricia Kelly?"
Timmy: "I'll never tell. "
Priest: "Was it Sheilah O'Brien?"
Timmy: "I'm sorry, but I cannot name her."
Priest: "Was it Kathleen Morgan?"
Timmy: "My lips is sealed."
Priest: "Was it Fiona Grogan, then?"
Timmy: "Please, Father, I cannot tell you."
The priest sighs in frustration. "You're a steadfast lad, Timmy Haughnessy, and I admire that. But you've sinned, and you must atone. You cannot attend church mass for three weeks. Be off with you now."
Timmy walks back to his pew. His friend Sean slides over and whispers, What'd you get?
Timmy Says, "Three weeks's vacation and five good leads. "
