One afternoon, a nun entered the confessional looking deeply embarrassed.

“Father,” she whispered, “I have sinned. We gave shelter to a homeless man at the convent, and I’m ashamed to admit it… I looked at his private parts through the keyhole.”

The priest tried to remain calm.

“My child,” he said gently, “say a Hail Mary, then wash your eyes in the holy water, and all will be forgiven.”

The nun thanked him and left.

A few minutes later, another nun entered the confessional.

“Father,” she said nervously, “I too have sinned. I did more than look. I touched his private parts with my hand.”

The priest sighed, but again spoke kindly.

“Say a Hail Mary, then wash your hands in the holy water, and all will be forgiven.”

Just then, a loud commotion broke out outside the confessional.

The priest rushed out and saw two nuns pushing, arguing, and pulling at each other’s veils while the others watched in shock.

“Sisters!” he shouted. “Stop this at once! What on earth is going on?”

One of the nuns pointed angrily at the other and said:

“I want to use the holy water first, before she washes her… ahem… with it!”
