Just for Laughs

The Irish Altar Boy.
Bless me Father, for I have sinned. I have been witha loose girl.

The Priest: Is that you, Johnny Byrne?
Yes, Father, It is.
And who was the girl you were with?
I can't tell you,Father, I don'y 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 Mary Walsh?
"I cannot say"

Was it Teresa Brown.
I'll never tell.

Was it Margaret Doyle?
I'm sorry, but I cannot name her.

Was it Ann O'Neal.
My Lips are sealed.

Was it Catherine O'Toole, then?
Please, Father. I cannot tell you.

The Peist sighs in frustration, You're very tight lipped Johnny and I admire that, but you have sinned and have to atone.
You cannot be an Altar boy for 4 months. Now go away and behave yourself.

Johnny walks back to his pew, and his friend Tommy slides over and whisper, "What did you get?"

"Four months holiday and five good leads!".

Thanks Lashy. Many,many years ago I lived in Barrow in Furness. Liked it.
Close to Kendal and the Lakes. I worked at the steelworks, that should give you a clue.
