Bless me Father, for I have sinned.
I have been with a loose woman.

The priest asks, "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 Capelli?
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.

You cannot be an altarboy now for 4 months.
Now go and behave yourself.

Johnny walks back to the pew, and his friend Nino slides over and whispes,
"What'd you get?"

Four months vacation and five good leads.
