Bless me Father, for I have sinned.
I have been with a loose girl.
The priest asked, "Is that you,
little Johnny Parisi?"
Yes, Father it is.
And who was the woman you were with?
I can't tell you, Father. I don't want to ruin
her reputation.
Well, Johnny, I'm sure to find out her name
sooner or later, so you may as well tell me
now. Was it Tina Minetti?
I cannot say.
Was it Teresa Volpe?
I'll never tell.
Was it Nina Capeli?
I'm sorry but I cannot name her.
Was it Cathy Piriano?
My lips are sealed.
Was it Rosa Di Angelo, then?
Please, Father, I cannot tell you.
The priest sighs in frustration. "You're
very tight lipped, Johnny Parisi and I
admire that. But you've sinned and
have to atone, so say four Hail Marys.
Now you go and sin no more!"
Johnny walks back to his pew and his
friend Nino slides over and whispers,
"What'd you get?"
"Four Hail Marys and five good leads..."
