( JOKES ) Stories from Africa

Confession

"Bless me Father, for I have sinned. I have

been with a loose girl."

The priest asks, "Is that you, little Joey

Pagano?"

"'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 her name

sooner or later so you may as well tell me

now. Was it Tina Minetti?"

"I cannot say."

"Was it Teresa Mazzarelli?"

"I'll never tell."

"Was it Nina Capelli?"

"I'm sorry, but I cannot name her."

"Was it Cathy Piriano?"

"My lips are sealed."

"Was it Rosa DiAngelo, then?"

"Please, Father, I cannot tell you."

The priest sighs in frustration. "You're very

tight lipped, and I admire that. But you've

sinned and have to atone. You cannot be an

altar boy now for 4 months. Now you go

and behave yourself."

Joey walks back to his pew, and his friend

Franco slides over and whispers, "What'd

you get?"

"Four months vacation and five good leads!"
