Italian wine maker
An old, 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?"
