The Alter Boy

"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? "

Joey says, "Four months vacation and five good leads ... "
