I have sinned...

[289sotherhalf]

Bless me Father, for I have sinned. I have been with a loose woman.

The Priest asks, "Is that you, little Timmy Shaughnessy?"

Yes, Father, it is.

And, who was the woman you were with?

I can't be tellin' you Father. I don't want to ruin her reputation.

Well, Timmy, I'm sure to find out sooner or later, so you may as well tell me now. Was it Brenda O'Malley?

I cannot say.

Was it Patricia Kelly?

I'll never tell.

Was it Sheila O'Brien?

I'm sorry but I cannot name her.

Was it Kathleen O'Rourke?

My lips are sealed.

Was it Fiona Grogan, then?

Please Father, I cannot tell you.

The priest sighs in frustration. You're a steadfast lad, Timmy Shaughnessy, and I admire that. But you've sinned, and you must atone. You cannot attend mass for three months. Be off with you now.

Timmy walks back to his pew. His friend Sean slides over and whispers. What'd you get?

Three months vacation and five good leads!
