Son:—“That is quite possible, but I don’t like the mother-of-pearl.”
His Confession
A thief while at confession, stole the confessor’s watch.
“I have stolen,” declared the thief.
“Then you must give the stolen article back to its owner,” said the priest.
“I will give it to you.”
“No, I don’t want it.”
“But if the owner won’t take it,” asked the thief, “what shall I do then?”
“Then, in God’s name, keep it,” answered the unsuspecting priest.
