"Bless me Father,for I have sinned.I have been with a loose woman."
The Priest asks,"Is that you,little Frankie Pierce?"
"Yes Father,it is."
"And who is the woman you were with?"
"I can't be tellin' you Father. I don't want to ruin her reputation."
"Well Frankie,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 Sheilah O'Brien?"
"I'm sorry,but I cannot name her."
"Was it Kathleen Morgan?"
"My lips are sealed."
"Was it Fiona Grogan,then?"
"Please Father,I cannot tell."
The Priest sighs in frustration."You're a steadfast lad,Frankie Pierce,and I admire that.But you've sinned,and you must atone.You cannot attend church mass for three months.Be off with you now."
Frankie walks back to his pew.His friend Sean slides over and whispers,"What'd you get?"
.........

.........
"Three months vacation and five good leads!"
