I’ve Fallen! In a small town out west, an older priest became tired of listening to all the details of his parishioners committing adultery when he was hearing their confessions. So he requested that everyone simply say “I’ve Fallen” during confession. This code word worked great for many years. Eventually the priest retired and was replaced with a new priest.

During his first week, the new priest started to get concerned when everyone was complaining about falling down. So the priest went to the town mayor and requested that the sidewalks be fixed so people won’t fall and get hurt. The mayor realizes that the new priest doesn’t know about the code word, so the mayor starts laughing.

The new priest said, “I don’t know why you’re laughing, your wife fell three times this week.”
