New Priest

Nan72

A new priest, born and raised in Texas, 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, and then the old priest asks him to step out of the confessional for a few
suggestions. The old priest suggests, "Cross your arms over your chest, and rub your
chin with one hand and try saying things like 'yes, I see,' and 'yes, go on,' and 'I understand.'
The new priest crosses his arms, rubs his chin with one hand and repeats all the suggested
remarks to the old priest. The old priest says, "Now, don't you think that's a little better than
slapping your knee and saying, "No shit... what happened next?"
