Tonight let's you and me go out and party. We'll carouse, drink, whatever we want." Fred was shocked. "Are you crazy? This is a small town and everyone knows us. Besides, even if they didn't, they would see our clothes and know we are priests." Joe was ready for this. "Don't be silly. We won't stay in town, we'll go into the city where nobody knows us, and we'll dress just like anyone else." In the end, he managed to persuade Fred, and they went out that night and partied like professionals. When they got back home at 5:00 AM, Fred's face became pale. "I just thought of something," he said. "We have to confess this." Again, Joe was ready. "Relax, I told you, I thought this all out in advance. Tomorrow, you go into church and into the confessional. I will come in my regular clothes and confess, and you absolve me. Then I go put on my garments, you come in and confess, and I'll absolve you." Fred was amazed at Joe's brilliance. And so, Joseph went in later that morning and said, "Father forgive me, for I have sinned. My friend and I, we're both young men, and last night we went out and caroused. We became drunk, used foul language, danced to wicked music." Fred answered, "God is patient and forgiving, and thus shall I be. Do 5 'Our Father's' and 5 'Hail Mary's' and you will be absolved of your sin." A while later, their places were reversed as Fred came in and confessed everything in detail. There was a short pause, and Joseph answered, "I don't believe this. And you DARE to call yourself a priest? You will do 500 'Our Father's,' 500 'Hail Mary's,' and go around the church 500 times on your knees praying for God's forgiveness. Then come back and we'll discuss abso- lution, but I make no guarantees." "WHAT??!!" Father Fred was shocked. "What about our agreement?" FatherJoe replied, "Hey, what I do on my time off is one thing, but I take my job seriously." ____
Gotta love the man that takes his job seriously! And some people say Americans don't have work ethic's anymore!
I don't get it. Joe is a douche? Fred should cut Joe's balls off and feed them to him? I dunno. Maybe bribe Joe with a little alter boy?
