Michael and Niall were walking past the church. Niall says to Michael, “I’m going to stop and go to confession. I need to ask the priest for absolution.” “Absolution for what?” asks Michael. “I’ve been engaging in sexual intercourse with a young lady, yet we are not married.” Niall goes into the confessional, kneels down and says, “Bless me, Father, for I have sinned. I’ve been engaging in sexual intercourse with a young lady, yet we are not married.” The Priest says, “Who have you been with, my son?” Niall replies, “Father, I couldn’t tell you that, it wouldn’t seem right to.” “If one of the girls in my Parish has strayed into sin, I should know about it,” answers the Priest. But Niall would not give the Priest a name. “Was it Nancy McFadden?” “No, Father.” “Was it Molly O’Shea?” “No, Father.” “Was it Mary Fogarty?” “No, Father.” “My son, if you can’t tell me who you have been with then I can’t give you absolution.” Niall leaves the confessional and meets up again with Michael. Michael asks, “So, did the priest give you absolution?” Niall answers, “No, but he gave me three very good leads.” ---

Shameless copy and paste from my post in another thread: A guy walks into a bar with his monkey. The guy sits at the bar and the monkey goes over to watch a game of pool being played. After a few minutes the monkey jumps up on the table and swallows the cue ball. The man and the monkey are asked to leave, the man apologizes profusely. Two weeks later the guy comes back to the bar with his monkey again. Just as the bartender begins to object, the man says “Don’t worry, he’ll stay right here with me.” The bartender agrees to let them stay. After a while the guy asks if the bar has any peanuts or pretzles, and the bartender brings over a bowl of each. The monkey tentatively reaches for a peanut, eyes it, sticks it up his butt, and then eats it. This gets the attention of the bartender, but he lets it slide. Then the monkey reaches for a pretzle, eyes it, sticks it up his butt and then eats it. At this point the bartender has to intervene, “Hey buddy that’s disgusting. Why the hell is your monkey doing that?” The guy says “Well, ever since he swallowed that cue ball, he tests everything before he eats it.” ---

A painter is whitewashing the inside of an outhouse when his ladder slips and he falls into the muck. Unable to climb out without assistance, he screams, “FIRE! FIRE!! FIRE!!!” Several minutes pass and he hears the wail of sirens, and shortly thereafter a Captain and engine company are staring down at him. “Where’s the fire?” asks the Captain. “There isn’t one,” tha painter replies. “Then what did you yell FIRE for?” “Would you guys have come out if I’d yelled ‘SHIT! SHIT!! SHIT!!!’?” ---

There was once an island where the inhabitants worshiped immortal dolphins as their gods. Every year they would sacrifice baby seagulls to these immortal dolphins. One year, as it came time for the sacrifice, they found that there were no seagulls anymore. They did notice huge flocks of them flying around a neighboring island that was inhabited by long time rivals. So they hopped in their canoes, and snuck over. As they were going up the path to the seagull nesting place, they came across a pair of majestic lions asleep on the path. They quietly tiptoed over the lions, grabbed the baby gulls and quietly tiptoed back. Just as they were about to get back in their canoes and head home, a bunch of the warriors from the tribe came and arrested them. What was the charge? Transporting young gulls over stately lions for immortal porpoises ---

Two guys were standing near the front of a department store, pacing back and forth. One turns to the other and says “Waiting on your wife?” The other says “Yeah, 30 minutes now.” The first says “Hey, let’s help each other find them and that way we can get out of here. What’s your look like?” The second guy says “Well, she’s 28, blonde, big lips, large breasts, tight little butt and she’s wearing a pink sweater. What’s your’s look like?” Guy #1 says “Hell, forget my wife, let’s go look for yours!” ---

There’s always the story of Quasimodo, who decided to retire from his position as the bellringer at Notre Dame. He placed an ad in the Paris newspaper, but the only person to respond was a bilateral amputee. When asked how he would ring the bells, the applicant jumped out, caught the rope in his teeth and proceeded to swing from rope to rope, ringing the bells. This kept on for a minute or so, until he missed, fell head-first onto the largest bell, then fell screaming to his death below. Two nuns walking across the cathedral floor stopped and looked at the body. One says, “Sister, have you ever seen this man before?” And the other says, “No, but his face sure rings a bell.” And the first says, “You’re right. The man’s a dead ringer for Quasimodo.” (I like this joke because it’s a double-barreled pun. Let the groans from the first line die down, and whammo - drill 'wm with the second line) 😃 [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/a-joke-thats-all/254321.md?page=1)
