  1. Another Tale About Bill Linane

    Share Share Post
    11.7.38
    On this occasion Bill Linane was working in this district.
    This man was a working man and he was a bit simple, although he said witty things.
    One day he went to confession because he heard the Missioner preach a sermon on sin the previous night.
    He had a number of sins to tell and when the priest had heard them he told Bill he was on the brink of hell.
    Bill replied "Isn't it a queer place you built your confession box Father."
