Joke

Bill was visiting his best friend Anthony, a priest at his church one day. Bill sat down to wait while Anthony was finishing confessions. All of a sudden, Anthony comes out of the box with a strained look on his face and whispers to Bill.

"I have an emergency. If I don't get to the bathroom right now I'm going to crap down my leg. Handle the next few confessions for me."

Bill, looking shocked said, "Tony. I don't know shit about taking confessions!"

Anthony patted him on the shoulder, looking increasingly more strained and said, "When you're sitting down, look to the left, you'll find a list of the most common offences and what you have to tell them to do for atonement." He then scuttled off in the direction of the bathroom, leaving Bill his robe.

Bill slipped it on, and went into the booth and sat down. He heard a voice on the other side and a woman spoke. "Forgive me father for I have sinned."

Bill said in his most reverent tone, "What did you do my child?"

The woman said, "This morning I took a dollar from my husband's wallet without asking."

So Bill scratched his head and looked at the list, thinking to himself. 'Theft, that would be theft, ok, here it is.' And spoke up to the woman. "My child, do one Hail Mary and one Our Father and go in peace."

The woman thanked him and Bill heard the door open, then close again, and another voice. A man said, "Forgive me father for I have sinned."
