A retired Italian wine maker went to the village
church to make his confession for the first time in
many decades.
When the priest slid open the panel in the
confessional, the man said, "Father, during World War
II, a beautiful woman knocked on my door and asked me
to hide her from the enemy. I hid her in my attic."
The priest replied, "That was a wonderful thing you
did, my son! You have no need to confess it."
"It's worse than that, Father," he continued. "She
quickly started to repay me with sexual favors."
"People in wartime sometimes act in ways they wouldn't
under normal conditions. If you are truly sorry for
your actions, you are forgiven."
"Thank you, Father. That's a great load off my mind.
May I ask a question?"
"What, my son?"
"Should I tell her the war is over?"
