The Rabbi's Confessional

A priest was called away for an emergency. Not wanting to

leave the confessional unattended, he called his rabbi friend

from across the street and asked him to cover for him. The

rabbi told him he wouldn't know what to say, but the priest

told him to come on over and he'd stay with him for a little

bit and show him what to do. The rabbi comes, and he and the

priest are in the

confessional.

In a few minutes, a woman comes in and says, "Father,

forgive me for I have sinned.

The priest asks, "What did you do?"

The woman says, "I committed adultery."

Priest: "How many times?"

Woman: "Three times."

Priest: "Say two Hail Marys, put $5 in the box, and go and

sin no more."

A few minutes later, a man enters the confessional. He

says, "Father, forgive me for I have sinned."

Priest: "What did you do?"

Man: "I committed adultery."

Priest: "How many times?"

Man: "Three times."

Priest: "Say two Hail Marys, put $5 in the box, and go and

sin no more."

The rabbi tells the priest that he thinks he's got it so the

priest leaves.

A few minutes later, another woman enters and says, "Father,

forgive me for I have sinned."

Rabbi: "What did you do?"

Woman: "I committed adultery."

Rabbi: "How many times?"

Woman: "Once."

Rabbi: "Go do it two more times. We have a special this

week, three for $5."
