The Confessional

(Attributed to Anon)

A priest was called away for an emergency. Not wanting to leave the confessional unattended, he called his rabbi friend from across the street and asked him to cover for him. The rabbi told him he wouldn‘t know what to say, but the priest told him to come on over and he‘d stay with him for a little bit and show him what to do.
The rabbi comes and he and the priest are in the confessional. In a few minutes a woman comes in and says “Father forgive me for I have sinned. I committed adultery.”
Priest says: “How many times?”
Woman: “Three times.”
Priest says, “Say two Hail Marys, put $5.00 in the box, and sin no more.”
A few minutes later a man enters the confessional. He says, “Father forgive me for I have sinned.”
Priest says, “What did you do?”
Man says, “I committed adultery.”
Priest asks, “How many times?”
Man replies, “Three times.”
Priest says, “Say two Hail Marys, put $5.00 in the box, and sin no more.”
The Rabbi tells the priest that he thinks he‘s got it so the priest leaves. A few minutes later another woman enters and says, “Father forgive me for I have sinned.”
Rabbi says, “What did you do?”
Woman replies, “I committed adultery.”
Rabbi asks, “How many times?”
Woman says “Once.”
Rabbi says, “Go do it two more times, we have a special this week, three for $5.00.”
