Bless me Father, for I have sinned. I have been with a loose girl.'
The priest asks, 'Is that you, little Stevie 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 Eckstein?'
'I cannot say.'
'Was it Toni Murray?'
'I'll never tell.'
'Was it Carla Cassidy?'
'I'm sorry, but I cannot name her.'
'Was it Julia Pizinski?'
'My lips are sealed.'
'Was it Susie Schwartz, 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.'
Stevie walks back to his pew, and his friend Dickie slides over and whispers, 'What'd you get?'
'Four months' vacation and five good leads ....'
