confessional

Well, everyone liked him, so they came up with a code word. Someone who had committed adultery would say they had "fallen" so this seemed to satisfy the old priest and things went well, until the priest died at a ripe old age.

About a week after the new priest arrives, he visited the mayor of the town and seemed very concerned. The priest said "you have to do something about the sidewalks in the town. When people come into the confessional, they keep talking about having fallen".

The mayor started to laugh, realizing that no one had told the new priest about the code word. Before the mayor could explain, the priest shook an accusing finger at the mayor and said "I don't know what you're laughing about because your wife fell three times this week.

lucky in love

A woman’s husband had been slipping in and out of a coma for several months, yet she stayed by his bedside every single day. When he came to, he motioned for her to come nearer.

As she sat by him, he said, “You know what? You have been with me all through the bad times. When I got fired, you were there to support me. When my business failed, you were there. When I got shot, you were by my side. When we lost the house, you gave me support. When my health started failing, you were still by my side… You know what?”

“What dear?” She asked gently.

“I think you bring me bad luck.”
