Three Times

A reverend father was called away for an emergency. Not wanting to leave the confessional unattended, he called his reverend brother friend from across the street and asked him to cover for him. The brother told him he wouldn't know what to say, but the reverend father told him to come on over and he would stay with him for a little bit and show him what to do. The brother came and he and the reverend father were in the confessional.

A few minutes later, a woman came in and said, "Father, forgive me for I have sinned."

The reverend asked, "What did you do?"

The woman said, "I committed adultery."

Reverend: "How many times?"

Woman: "Three times."

Reverend: "Say two Hail Mary's, put 1,000 Naira in the box and go and sin no more."

A few minutes later, a man entered the confessional. He said, "Father forgive me for I have sinned."

Reverend: "What did you do?"

Man: "I committed adultery."

Reverend: "How many times?"

Man: "Three times."

Reverend: "Say two Hail Mary's, put 1,000 Naira in the box and go and sin no more."

The brother told the reverend that he thinks he has got it so the reverend left. A few minutes later, another woman entered and said, "Father, forgive me for I have sinned."

Brother: "What did you do?"

Woman: "I committed adultery."

Brother: "How many times?"

Woman: "Once."

Brother: "Go and do it two more times. We have a special offer this week, three for 1,000 Naira."
