I received several versions: one from the somewhat shy and
retiring Abie from the East Coast and the other from the truly
perceptive Huck Finn from the Upper Midwest...

"Bless me Father, for I have sinned".

The priest asked, "What did you do, my son'?

"I lusted," Ronald replied.
"Tell me about it." the priest said.

Ronald then related his story.
"Father, I am a Parcel Post deliveryman. Yesterday I was making
a delivery in the affluent section of the city. When I rang the bell,
the door opened and there stood the most beautiful woman I have
ever seen. She had long blonde hair and eyes like emeralds. She
was dressed in a sheer dressing gown that showed off her perfect
figure. And, she asked if I would like to come in."

"And what did you do, my son?" asked the priest.

"Father, I did not go in the house but I lusted. Oh, how I lusted,"
replied the man.

"Your sin has been forgiven," replied the priest. "You will get your
reward in heaven, my son."

"A reward, father? What do you think my reward might be?" Ronald
asked.

The priest replied, "I think a bale of hay would be appropriate, you
dumb ass!"
