Priest Got Tired Of Adultery Confessions so he warned....

There's an old priest who got sick of all the people in his parish who

kept confessing to adultery. One Sunday, in the pulpit, he said, "If I

hear one more person confess to adultery, I'll quit!"

Well, everyone liked him, so they came up with a code word. Someone

who had committed adultery would say they had "fallen."

This seemed to satisfy the old priest and things went well, until the

priest died at a ripe old age. About a week after the new priest

arrived, he visited the mayor of the town and seemed very concerned.

The priest said, "You have to do something about the sidewalks in

town. When people come into the confessional, they keep talking about

having fallen."
The mayor started to laugh, realizing that no one had told the new

priest about the code word.
Before the mayor could explain, the priest shook an accusing finger at

the mayor and said, "I don't know what you're laughing about, your

wife fell three times this week."
