  1. A Funny Story

    Share Share Post
    Once upon a time two old women went to the chapel to go to confession. One of the women said before they would go into the chapel they would go into a public house and have a drink. When the two women came out they went into the chapel and one of them went into the confession box. There was no priest in the chapel so the woman slept in the confession box. When the priest came out and went into the confession box the woman said "Two pints more".
