A priest needs to take a lunch break, but the line to the confessional is backed way up.
So he calls his buddy, the rabbi from the Synagogue across the street, to cover for him.
The rabbi comes over and says "From what do I know of confessions?"
The priest says "Don't worry, you're a smart guy. Just sit in here with me for a while and you'll get the hang of it."
So the rabbi and the priest sit in the confessional and listen to the first applicant.
"Forgive me, Father, for I have sinned," comes a voice from behind the curtain.
"What have you done, my child?" asks the priest.
"I have been unfaithful to my wife," says the parishoner.
"How many times?" asks the priest.
"Three" is the reply.
"You must say 10 Hail Marys and put $5 in the collection plate. Now go, and sin no more."
The next parishoner enters the booth and says "Forgive me father, for I have sinned."
"What have you done, my child?" asks the priest.
"I have been unfaithful to my wife," says the parishoner.
"How many times?" asks the priest.
"Three" is the reply.
"You must say 10 Hail Marys and put $5 in the collection plate. Now go, and sin no more."
The rabbi says "This is pretty easy, I think I have it. Go enjoy your lunch."
So the rabbi is sitting there as the next parishoner enters the booth.
The next parishoner enters the booth and says "Forgive me father, for I have sinned."
"What have you done, my child?"
"I have been unfaithful to my husband," says the parishoner.
"How many times?" asks the priest.
"Why, only once!" is the offended response.
"Well, go do it two more times. We're running a special today, 3 for $5."
