In some churches, you try to keep your private business to yourself. We know that it is difficult to do, because people love a good story and it isn’t long before our private issues are public knowledge.
There are also certain religions where you tend to confess your sins to those in charge. That was what happened in the following joke, but when too many people were confessing about committing adultery, the priest couldn’t take it any longer. Read on to find out the solution and how it backfired.
There was 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.”
However since everyone liked they came with a code word so that he didn’t know. So Someone who had committed adultery would say they had fallen.
This satisfied the old priest until he died a week later of ripe old age.
About a week after the new priest came arrives he visited the new mayor and seemed ever concerned.
The priest said ,” You have to do something in the sidewalks in town. When people come into the church, they keep talking about having fallen. ”
The mayor started to laugh, realizing no one had told the new priest of the new code word.
Before the mayor could explain, the priest points a finger at him and says,
“I don’t know what you’re laughing about your wife fell three times this week.”
