THE
NEW PRIEST
Father
O'Malley, the new priest 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, then the old priest
asks him to step out of the confessional for a few suggestions.
The old priest suggests, "Cross you arms over your
chest, and rub your chin with one hand." The new priest
tries this.
The old priest suggests, "Try saying things like, 'I
see, yes, go on, I understand and how did you feel about
that?" The new priest says those things.
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"
