\"Bless me Father, for I have sinned. I have been with a loose woman.\"
The priest asks, \"Is that you, little Tommy Shaughnessy?\"
\"Yes, Father, it is.\"
\"And who was the woman you were with?\"
\"Sure I can\'t be tellin\' ya, Father. I don\'t want to ruin her reputation.\"
\"Well, Tommy, I\'m sure to find out sooner or later, so you may as well tell me now. Was it Brenda O\'Malley?\"
\"I canna say.\"
\"Was it Patricia Kelly?\"
\"I\'ll never tell.\"
\"Was it Liz Shannon?\"
\"I\'m sorry, but I\'ll not name her.\"
\"Was it Cathy Morgan?\"
\"My lips are sealed.\"
\"Was it Fiona McDonald then?\"
\"Please, Father, I canna tell ya.\"
The priest sighs in frustration. \"You\'re a steadfast lad, Tommy Shaughnessy, and I admire that, but you\'ve sinned and you must atone. You canna attend church for three months. Be off with ya now.\"
Tommy walks back to his pew. His friend Sean slides over and whispers,
\"What\'d ya get?\"
\"Three months\' vacation and five good leads,\" says Tommy.
