Bless me, Father, for I have sinned. I’ve been with a loose girl.
“Yes, Father, it is.”
“And who was the girl you were with?”
“I can’t tell you, Father. I don’t want to ruin her reputation.”
“Well, Joey, I’m sure to find out sooner or later, so you may as well tell me now. Was it Tina Minetti?”
“I can’t say.”
“Teresa Mazzarelli?”
“I promised not to tell.”
“Nina Capelli?”
“My lips are sealed.”
“Cathy Piriano?”
“I’m really sorry, Father. I can’t.”
“Rosa DiAngelo?”
“I’m not saying.”
The priest sighed. “Well, Joey, I admire your honesty and loyalty, but you’ll have to take a little break from altar boy duties – four months.”
Joey returned to his pew. His friend Franco leaned over and whispered, “What’d you get?”
Joey grinned. “Four months off… and five great leads.”
