    A long time ago it happened in Marley...

    A long time ago, it happened in Marley, that a girl by the name of Bridget K. went to confession in Glynn. When she was coming home from confession, a man met her at the bridge of Marley, and he started joking at her. He asked her did she tell all her sins, she said she did not. He asked her "why" and she said "I left some for seed"
