An altar boy walked into the confessional booth and lamented, “Bless me Father, for I have sinned. I have been with a loose girl.”
The priest promptly asked, “Is that you, little Joey Pagano?”
Without denying it, the little boy replied, “Yes, Father. It is.”
“And who was the girl you were with?” asked the inquisitive priest.
“Oh, I can’t tell you, Father. I don’t want to ruin her reputation.”
“Well, young 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 Father, but I cannot name her.”
The priest was undeterred. “Was it Cathy Piriano?”
Without hesitation, the little sinner retorted, “My lips are sealed.”
“Was it Rosa DiAngelo, then?”
“Please, Father, I cannot tell you.”
The priest sighed in frustration. “You’re a tight lipped little boy, and I admire that to some degree. But you’ve sinned and have to atone for it. Thus, you cannot be an altar boy for 4 months. Now you go and behave yourself.”
Joey walked back to his pew where his friend Franco slid in next to him and whispered, “What’d you get?”
Joey smiled to himself, “Four months vacation and five good leads.”
