Confessions
Father O'Malley, the new priest is nervous about hearing
confessions, so he asks the older priest to sit in on his
sessions. The new priest hears a couple of confessions,
then the old priest asks him to step out of the confessional
for a few suggestions.
The old priest suggests, "Cross you arms over your chest,
and rub your chin with one hand." The new priest tries this.
The old priest next suggests, "Try saying things like,
'I see, yes, go on, I understand and how did you feel
about that?'" The new priest says those things.
The old priest finishes his observation, saying, "Now,
don't you think that's a little better than slapping your
knee and saying 'No shit? What happened next?'."
