TIPSTER

Tommy O'Connor went to confession and said:

“Forgive me Father for I have sinned.”

“What have you done Tommy O'Connor?”

“I had sex with a girl.”

“Who was it, Tommy?”

“I cannot tell you Father, please grant me forgiveness me for my sin.”

“Was it Mary Margaret Sullivan?”

“No Father, please forgive me for my sin, but I cannot tell you who it was.”

“Was it Catherine Mary McKenzie?”

“No Father, please forgive me, I cannot tell you who it was.”

“Well then it has to be Sarah Martha O'Keefe.”

“No, no, Father. Don’t ask me, just absolve me.”

“Okay, Tommy, go say five Hail Mary’s, four Our Fathers and keep away from sin. These women will surely lead you to Hell.”

So Tommy walked out to the pews where his friend Joseph was waiting.

“What did ya get?”– asked Joseph.

“Well I got 5 Hail Mary's, 4 Our Fathers and 3 good tips.”
