An Italian Boy's Confession

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

The priest ask, "Is that you, little Johnny Parisi?"

"Yes, Father it is."

"And who was the woman you were with?"

"I can't tell you , Father. I don't want to ruin her reputation."

"Well, Johnny, 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 Volpe?"

"I'll never tell."

"Was it Nina Capeli?"

"I'm sorry, but I cannot name her."

"Was it Cathy Piriano?"

"My lips are sealed."

"Was it Rosa Di Angelo, then?"

"Please, Father, I cannot tell you."

The priest sighs in frustration. "You're very tight lipped, Johnny
Parisi and I admire that. But you've sinned and have to atone. You cannot attend church services for four months. Now you go and behave yourself."

Johnny walks back to his pew, and his friend, Nino, slides over and
whispers, "What'd you get?"

"Four months vacation and five good leads."
