HALF-HEARTED CONFESSION A
Dutchman in Amsterdam felt that he needed to confess, so he went to the local priest. “Forgive me Father, for I have sinned. During World War II I hid a Jew in my attic.” “Well,” answered the priest, “that’s not a sin.” “But I charged him 20 Gulden for every week he stayed there.” “I admit that wasn’t good, but you did it for a good cause.” “Yes, but I haven’t told him that the war is over.” From Hide in the Attic, by Melvin M.
