The man left the confessional, said his prayers, and then walked over to the poor box. He paused for a moment and then started to leave. The priest, who was watching, quickly ran over to him saying, โI saw that, You didnโt put any money in the poor box!โ The man replied, โYeah, but I rubbed the $50 on the box, and according to you, thatโs the same as putting it in!
โMarried man went into the confessional and said to his priest, โI almost had an affair with another woman.โ The priest said, โWhat do you mean, almost?โ The man said, โWell, we got undressed, naked and rubbed together, but then I stopped.โ The priest said, โRubbing together is the same as putting it in. Youโre not to see that woman again. For your penance, say five Hail Maryโs and put $50 in the poor box.โ
