A Playful Twist on Confession

A married man walked into a confessional, seeking forgiveness for a near-miss with infidelity. He shared with the priest that he had almost had an affair with another woman. The priest, intrigued, asked for clarification on what “almost” meant.

The man explained that they had gotten undressed and rubbed together, but he had stopped short of going further. The priest, with a hint of humor, replied that rubbing together was equivalent to taking the final step. He instructed the man to avoid the woman in question and assigned him a penance: five Hail Marys and a $50 donation to the poor box.

As the man left the confessional, he made his way to the poor box. However, instead of depositing the money, he rubbed the $50 bill against the box. When the priest confronted him about not making the donation, the man cleverly replied that, according to the priest’s own logic, rubbing the money against the box was equivalent to putting it in. The priest was left speechless, and the man walked away with a sly smile.
