- A Funny Story
An acrobat went to Confession in St Marys Church, Clonmel, one time. When he had his Confession finished, the priest asked him what trade he had. The man told him that he was an acrobat. The priest asked him what was that. The man told him to come out of the Confession box and that he would show him.
The priest came out and the man went in a somersault down to the end of the chapel. All the people that were in the chapel waiting for Confession, thought that the man was doing the penance that the priest gave him.
So they all ran out of the chapeel and went to Confession in one of the other churches.
