The Confessional and the Poor Box

A married man goes into the confessional and says to his priest, "I almost had an affair with another woman."

The priest says, "Almost? What do you mean, almost?"

The man replies, "Well, we kissed and both got undressed and rubbed together, but then I stopped."

The priest then says, "Rubbing together is the same thing as putting it in. You're not to see that woman again. For your penance, say 10 Hail Mary's and put $100 in the poor box."

Then man then leaves the confessional, says his prayers, and then walks over to the collection box. He pauses for a moment, and then starts to leave.

Meanwhile, the priest is watching all this time, and quickly runs over to him saying, "Hey, I saw that. You didn't put any money in the poor box."

The man replies, "Yeah, but I rubbed the $100 on the box, and according to you, that's the same thing as putting it in!"
