    Once upon a time there was a man that led a very bad life.

    Once upon a time there was a man that led a very bad life. A thought struck his mind and he went to confession and told the priest that he stole a rope. And the priest asked him if it was a valuable rope. The man said it was just an ordinary rope. The priest said it wasn't a great sin. The man then told the priest that there was something on the end of the rope. And the priest asked him what it was and the man said a pig.
