The Old Man’s Confession
One Sunday morning, an elderly man walked into a church and quietly entered the confessional.
“Forgive me, Father,” he said. “I have sinned.”
The priest replied gently,
“Tell me, my son. What is troubling you?”
The old man took a deep breath.
“Father, I’m 90 years old.”
“I’ve been married to my wife for over 70 years, and I’ve always been faithful.”
The priest nodded approvingly.
“But last night…” the old man continued with a smile,
“…I spent the evening with two beautiful young women.”
The priest raised an eyebrow.
“I see.”
After a brief pause, he asked,
“And when was your last confession?”
The old man looked puzzled.
“Oh… I’ve never been to confession.”
“You’ve never been?”
“No.”
“I’m Jewish.”
The priest blinked.
“Then… why are you telling me?”
The old man couldn’t stop smiling.
He proudly replied,
“I’m telling everybody!”
