Good God

Colagero in a confessional.

Colagero: Bless me Father for I have sinned. It has been one month since my last confession and these are my sins. I missed mass on Sunday twice, I lied about witnessing a murder once, and I ate meat on Friday once.

Father: Wait a minute, can you back up a little bit and say that again?

Colagero: I ate meat on Friday once?

Father: No, not that one, back up a little more.

Colagero: I lied about witnessing a murder.

Father: Yeah, that's the one. Do you realize what you said?

Colagero: It was only once, Father.

Father: Do you know the fifth is?

Colagero: Yes, Father, I know what the fifth is. The fifth is I refuse to answer on the grounds that I might incriminate myself.

Father: The fifth commandment.

Colagero: Thou shall not kill.

Father: That's right. Now, I want you to tell me what happened.

Colagero: No Father, I'm not telling nobody nothing.

Father: Don't be afraid. Nobody's more powerful than god.

Colagero: I don't know about that Father, your guy's bigger than my guy up there, but my guy's bigger down here.

Father: You got a point, five Our Fathers and five Hail Mary's for your penance.

Colagero: For a murder rap? That's not bad, Father.

Father: What did you say?

Colagero: Bye Father.

Voice over: It was great to be Catholic and go to confession. Every week you could start over.
