Falling Off A Bridge
Sunday. First day of the work week and the day we go to mass to the only Catholic Church in Dubai, St. Marys.
I went with my sister, Vilma, & the couple Eli & Budjoy.
The Priest's sermon was about sins. He told the story about a priest who encouraged his congregation to go to confession. He said to just say that they fall off the bridge should they have committeed fornication or adultery to make it less shameful. Many were encouraged and when they go to confession, they just say that they have fallen off the bridge and father would know.
The priest was later on replaced. But he was not able to tell the incoming priest about their code phrase during confession. So the new priest got worried that many were falling off the bridge.
He went to the mayor and told him seriously, "Dear Mayor, we have a very big problem. There is something badly wrong with the bridge, many are falling off."
The mayor gave a loud hearty laugh knowing the code phrase during confession. The Mayor said, "It's nothing to worry about father. It is nothing serious."
"It's very serious, Mayor." the priest replied, "Your wife fell off the bridge three times last week."
