An elderly Italian man who lived on the outskirts of
Rimini Italy went to the local church for confession.
When the priest slid open the panel in the confessional,
the man said:
"Father.. During World War II, a beautiful Jewish woman
from our neighborhood knocked urgently on my door and
asked me to hide her from The Nazis. So I hid her in my
attic."
The priest replied: "That was a wonderful thing you did,
and you have no need to confess that."
"There is more to tell, Father.. She started to repay me
with sexual favors. This happened several times a week,
and sometimes twice on Sundays."
The priest said, "That was a long time ago and by doing
what you did, you placed the two of you in great danger,
but two people under those circumstances can easily
succumb to the weakness of the flesh.
However, if you are truly sorry for your actions, you are
indeed forgiven."
"Thank you, Father. That's a great load off my mind. I do
have one more question."
"And what is that?" asked the priest.
"Should I tell her the war is over?''

Thank God I wasn't drinking anything! I have to send this to my dad. He'll love it! Thanks!
