Paddy goes to confession and says to the priest, “Bless me father, for I have sinned. It’s been three weeks since my last confession, and in that time I have committed the sin of adultery.”
The priest says, “Was it with Brigitte O’Hara?”
Paddy says, “I’m sorry Father, but I can’t tell you who it was with.”
So the priest says, “I’ll bet it was with Mary O’Houlihan, the hussy!”
Paddy says, “I’m sorry Father, but I really can’t tell you who it was.”
The priest says, “Was it that Rose O’Connell?”And Paddy responds, “I’ve told you already Father, I can’t reveal who it was.”
So the priest says, “You’re a wicked man Paddy O’Reilly. Say six Hail Marys and don’t let me hear that you’ve transgressed again!”
As he is walking home, Paddy bumps into his friend Seamus, who says, “Paddy! How are you doin’? Is it the Church you’ll be coming from?”
And Paddy says, “Aye Seamus, I’ve just been to confession.”
“How was it?”
Paddy says, “Oh not too bad, I got six Hail Marys and three good leads!”
