"Bless me Father, for I have sinned.. I have been
with a loose girl."
The priest asks, "Is that you, little Juanito
Calenturas?"
"Yes, Father, it is."
"And who was the girl you were with?"
"I can't tell you, Father, I don't want to
ruin her reputation."
"Well, Juanito, I'm sure to find out her name
sooner or later so you may as well tell me now. Was it
Tina Martinez?"
"I cannot say.."
"Was it Teresa Garcia?"
"I'll never tell."
"Was it Nina Lopez?"
"I'm sorry, but I cannot name her."
"Was it Cathy Ramirez?"
"My lips are sealed."
"Was it Rosa Fernandez, then?"
"Please, Father, I cannot tell you."
The priest sighs in frustration. "You're very
tight lipped, and I admire that. But you've sinned and
have to atone. You cannot be an altar boy now for 4 months.
Now you go and behave yourself."
Juanito walks back to his pew, and his friend Carlitos
slides over and whispers, "What'd you get?"
"Four months vacation and five good leads."
