A married man goes to confessional and
says to the priest, "Father, I had an affair with a woman... almost." "What
do you mean almost?" question the priest. "Well, we got undressed and rubbed
together, but then I stopped." "Rubbing together is the same as putting
it in," explains the priest. "You're not to go near that woman again. Now,
say five Hail Mary's and put $50 in the poor box."
The man leaves confessional, says his prayers,
and then walks over to the poor box. He pauses for a moment and then decides
to leave. The priest quickly runs over to the man and exclaims, "I saw
that... you didn't put any money in the poor box!" "Well Father, I rubbed
up against it and, like you said, it's the same as putting it in!"
