A priest in a small town is called away to an emergency just as he's about to start taking confession.
Unsure what else to do, he calls his Rabbi friend and asks him to cover for him
"I'm not sure I'd know what to do," replies the rabbi.
"I'll do a couple of confessions before I go, and you can watch," says the priest.
So, reluctantly, the rabbi goes over to observe a couple of confessions.
First, a man enters the booth, "Forgive me father for I have sinned."
"What did you do?"
"I committed adultery. Three times!"
"Say two hail Marys, put $5 in the poor box and go and sin no more!" Instructs the priest.
Next, a woman enters the booth, " Forgive me father, for I have sinned."
"What did you do?"
"I committed adultery. Three times!"
"Say two Hail Marys, put $5 in the poor box, go and sin no more!" Instructs the priest.
After the woman leaves, the rabbi says he gets the idea, so the priest leaves him to it.
Shortly afterwards, a young woman enters the confessional.
"Forgive me father, for I have sinned!"
"What did you do?"
"I committed adultery."
"How many times?"
"Once!"
"Well, go and do it twice more. We're having a 3 for $5 special this week!"
