AN ITALIAN BOY'S CONFESSION |
|
Wednesday, 02 September 2009 |
'Bless me Father, for I have
sinned.
I have
been with a loose girl'.
The priest asks, 'Is that you, little Joey
Pagano ?'
'Yes, Father, it is.'
'And who was the girl you were with?'
'I
can't tell you, Father. I don't want to ruin her reputation'.
"Well,
Joey, I'm sure to find out her name sooner or later
so you may as well tell me now. Was it Tina
Minetti?'
'I cannot say.'
'Was it Teresa Mazzarelli?'
'I'll
never tell.'
'Was it Nina Capelli?'
'I'm sorry, but I cannot name
her.'
'Was it Cathy Piriano?'
'My lips are sealed.'
'Was it
Rosa DiAngelo, then?'
'Please, Father, I cannot tell
you.'
The priest sighs in frustration.
'You're very
tight lipped, and I admire that.
But you've sinned and have to atone.
You cannot be an altar boy now
for 4 months.
Now
you go and behave yourself.'
Joey walks back to his
pew,
and his
friend Franco slides over and whispers,
'What'd you get?'
'Four months vacation and five good
leads.'
