Friday Funnies: Job interviews and confession

Pat goes to confession and tells the priest: “I’ve had sex with a woman who is not my wife.”

“What’s the woman’s name”, asks the priest.

“Oh, I can’t tell you that,” says Pat.

“Well, I can’t give you penance if you don’t tell me who it was.”

“Was it Mrs. Gilhooly?”

“No, father, it wasn’t.”

“Was it Mrs. Murphy?”

“No, father, it wasn’t”

“Was it Mrs. Jones?”

“No, father, it wasn’t “

“Well then Pat, I can’t give you penance,” says the priest.

On the way out, Pat meets Seamus.

“Well, Pat, did he give you penance?” asks Seamus.

“No, he didn’t, but he gave me three good leads,” says Pat.
