A Load Off
by: me

A priest sits in his confessional booth. He slides the viewing door open. A screen separates him from the old man sitting opposite him.

“Holy cow!” the man said.
“Uh, usually it’s ‘bless me father for I have sinned’ and ‘it’s been a certain number of days since my last confession’.” Father O’Donnell laughed.
“Uh…” the man began. “Bless me father for I have sinned. It’s been three years since my last confession. I have three sins to confess.”
“Go on.” Father O’Donnell said.
“Once I stole a pack of gum from Bill’s Food mart and once I mashed a nun’s foot with my cane on the subway.” The man said.
“Did you apologize to the sister?”
“Yes.”
“Then it’s not a sin. Merely an accident.” Father O’Donnell said calmly.
“I see.”
“Stealing is a sin.” O’Donnell said sternly.
“I know.”
“I want five rosaries for that one.”
“Okay.”
“And what was your third sin, my son?” Father O’Donnell asked.
“Well, this one’s new.” The man said guiltily.
“I see. Go on.”
“Before you opened that door, I thought I was in the bathroom.”
