  1. A Story

    Share Share Post
    One time there was a man and he went to confession. The priest asked him how long it was since he was at confession last and he said ten years. Then the priest told him to go to the bishop. He went to the bishop and he asked him how long it was since he was with the priest and the man said about five minutes ago.
