    A Funny Story
    Once upon a time an old woman was very fond of smoking. One day as she was going to Confession as usual she took a pull before she went in to the Confession box and then she put her pipe in her breast. When the priest was hearing her Confession he told her to say the Confiteor, and as she was saying "through my fault", she said "Ah by God I broke it".
