Tommy enters the confessional box and says, "Bless me, Father, for I have sinned. I have been with a loose woman." The priest asks, "Is that you, Tommy ?" "Yes, Father, it is." "And who was the woman you were with?" "Sure and I can`t be tellin` you, Father. I don`t want to ruin her reputation." "Well, Tommy, I`m sure to find out sooner or later, so you may as well tell me now. Was it Brenda ?" "I cannot say." "Was it Patricia ?" "I`ll never tell." "Was it Liz Shannon?" "I`m sorry, but I`ll not name her." "Was it Cathy ?" "My lips are sealed." "Was it Fiona, then?" "Please, Father, I cannot tell you." The priest sighs in frustration. "You`re a steadfast lad, Tommy , and I admire that. But you`ve sinned, and you must atone. Be off with you now." Tommy walks back to his pew. His friend Sean slides over and whispers, "What`d you get?" "Five good leads," says Tommy. |
