Box Donation

"Box Donation"

A married Irishman went into the confessional and
said to his priest, "I almost had an affair with another
woman."

The priest said, "What do you mean, almost?"

The Irishman said, "Well, we got undressed and
rubbed together, but then I stopped."

The priest said, "Rubbing together is the same
as putting it in. You're not to see that woman again.
For your penance, say five Hail Mary's and put $50
in the poor box."

The Irishman 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, "I saw that. You didn't put any money in
the poor box!"

The Irishman replied, "Yeah, but I rubbed the $50
on the box, and according to you, that's the same
as putting it in!"
