Father, I've Fallen

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

kept confessing adultery. One Sunday, from 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 to 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

laughing about! Your wife fell three times this week. "
