Confession

An old priest became sick of all the people in his parish who kept confessing to adultery. One Sunday, in the pulpit, he said, "If I hear one more person confess to adultery, I'll leave the priesthood!"
Well, everyone liked him, so they came up with a code word. Someone who had committed adultery would say they had "fallen". This seemed to satisfy the old priest and things went well, until he eventually died and a new priest replaced him. After about a week, the new priest became so concerned that he visited the Mayor of the town.
The priest said, "you have to do something about the pavements in this town. When people come into the confessional, they keep asking for forgiveness as they have fallen."
The Mayor started to laugh, realising that no-one had told the new priest about the code word. Before the mayor could explain, the priest shook an accusing finger at him and said, "I don't know what you're laughing about, your wife said she fell twice this week!"
