Confessions


Tommy Shaughnessy goes into the confessional box and says: "Bless me Father for I have sinned. I have been with a loose woman."
The priest says, "Is that you, little Tommy Shaughnessy?"
"Yes, Father. It is."
"Who was this woman you were with?"
"I cannot tell you, Father, because I don't want to ruin her reputation."
The priest asks, "Was it Brenda Patty O'Malley?"
"No."
"Was it Mary Patricia Kelly?"
"No."
"Was it Elizabeth Mary Shannon?"
"No."
"Was it Fiona Mary McDonald?"
"No."
"Was it Cathy Moran Morgan?"
"No, Father! I cannot tell you."
The priest finally gives up and says, "Tommy, I admire your perseverance, but you must atone for your sins. Your penance will be three Hail Marys and four Our Fathers. Go back to your pew."
Tommy walks back to his pew and his friend Sean slides over and whispers,

"What happened?"
"Well, I got three Hail Marys, four Our Fathers, and five good leads."
