OT - New Lingo for an Old Priest
New Lingo for an Old Priest
There was an old priest who got sick of all the people in his parish who
kept confessing to adultery. One Sunday, in the pulpit, he said, "If I hear
one more person confess to adultery, I'll quit!"
Everyone liked him, so they came up with a code word. Someone who had
committed adultery would say instead that they had "fallen."
This seemed to satisfy the old priest and things went well until the priest
passed away at a ripe, old age.
A few days after the new priest arrived, he visited the mayor of the town
and seemed very concerned.
"Mayor, you have to do something about the sidewalks in town. When people
come into the confessional, they keep telling me they've fallen."
The mayor started to laugh, realizing that no one had told the new priest
about the code word. But, before he could explain, the priest shook an
accusing finger at him and shouted, "I don't know what you're laughing
about, because your wife has already fallen three times this week!"
