Two guys were going for a walk and they passed by a church. One man says "Hey, can you wait just a minute?"
The other sure says, "Sure."
The first man goes in and sees that confession is going on, so he stands in line, goes in and says, "Forgive me Father, for I have sinned; it's been a while since my last confession."
The priest says, "Son, tell me your sins."
"Well Father, I have committed adultery with two married women."
"For the first part of your penance you must say 3 Our Fathers and 6 Hail Marys. You also must tell me who the women are that you committed adultery with."
"Father, I can't do that!"
"Son, it is extremely important for your forgiveness. Are they women in this parish? Was it Mrs. Phillips?"
"Well, I... no... I don't feel comfortable with this. I just can't."
"Was it Mrs. Brown? Son, you must come clean."
"Gosh, Father, I don't know. I'm sorry, but I don't want to tell you their names."
"Son, because you will not tell me, you are banished from the church for six months!"
The man leaves the church and his friend says "So, how did it go?"
The man says, "It went great--I got two good leads and six months off."
