The new priest...
A new priest, born and raised in Texas ,
Comes to serve in a city parish and is
Nervous about hearing confessions, so
He asks an older priest to sit in on his
Sessions.
The new priest hears a couple of confessions,
Then the old priest asks him to step out of the
Confessional for a few suggestions.
The old priest suggests, "Cross your arms
Over your chest, and rub your chin with one
Hand and try saying things like 'yes, I see,'
And 'yes, go on,' and 'I understand.'
The new priest crosses his arms, rubs his
Chin with one hand and repeats all the
Suggested remarks to the old priest.
The old priest says, "Now, don't you think
that's a little better than slapping your knee
And saying, "No Sugar, what happened next?"
