A young man enters the confessional, sits down and says,

-“Forgive me father for I have sinned.

The priest replies,

-“Yes, my son what is the nature of your sin?”

-“Well, father I had unprotected sex with a girl.”

-“That is very bad my son, what is the girl’s name?”

-“I’m sorry father, I cannot tell you”.

-“You must my son if only to save her immortal soul, now was it Mary Collins or perhaps Janet O’Shaunessy?”

-“My lips are sealed father.” said the young man.

-“Come now my son, you must tell me her name, now was it Katie Killop, June Norman or maybe Annie
Jessop?”

-“I’m sorry father I cannot tell you and that is the end of it”. -said the young man.

-“Well my son, you have committed a grave sin and the punishment is severe”. -said the priest.

-“You are banned from Mass and Holy Communion for 3 months and you must say 5 Hail Mary’s each day”

The young man thanks the priest and leaves. Outside the church, his friend runs up to him and with a worried look on his face he says,

-“Well, what did you get?”

The young man smiles and replies,

-“Three months holiday and five good contacts.”
