  2. Woman at Confession

    Share Share Post
    One time a woman stole a turkey and it was from a priest she stole him. She went to Confession and told the priest that she would give the turkey to him. The priest said "Oh do not give him to me, give him to the owner". The woman said she offered him to the owner and he would not take him. The priest told her to cut the head off him and to put him down in the pot and eat him and so she did.
