New priest in town


Recommended Posts

There was an old priest who got sick of all the people in his parish

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 instead that they had 'fallen.'

This seemed to satisfy the old priest and things went well until the priest

passed away at a ripe old age.

A few days after the new priest arrived, he visited the mayor of the town

and seemed very concerned.

"Mayor, you have to do something about the sidewalks in town. When people

come into the confessional, they keep telling me they've fallen."

The mayor started to laugh, realizing that no one had told the new priest

about the code word. But, before he could explain, the priest shook an

accusing finger at him and shouted, "I don't know what you're laughing

about, because your wife has fallen three times this week!"
