Religious jokes
There's
this old priest who got sick of
all the people in his parish
who kept confessing to adultery. One
Sunday, in the pulpit, he said,
"If I hear one more person confess to
adultery, I'll quit!"
Well, everyone liked him, so they came
up with a code word. Someone
who had committed adultery would say
they had "fallen."
This seemed to satisfy the old priest and things
went well, until the
priest died at a ripe old age. About a week
after the new priest
arrived, he visited the mayor of the town and
seemed very concerned.
The priest said, "You have to do something
about the sidewalks in
town. When people come into the confessional,
they keep talking about
having fallen."
The mayor started to
laugh, realizing that no one had told the new
priest about the code
word.
Before the mayor could explain, the priest shook an
accusing finger at
the mayor and said, "I don't know what you're l
aughing about, your
wife fell three times this week."
