A man walks into a church for confession.
He sits down and says,
“Father, I have sinned… I stole some wood.”
The priest asks calmly,
“How much wood did you take, my son?”
The man replies,
“Enough to build a small house.”
The priest sighs,
“That’s quite serious… Do you feel guilty?”
The man says,
“Very guilty, Father… that’s why I came here.”
The priest nods,
“Good. You must return what you stole.”
The man hesitates and asks,
“Father… would it be okay if I just… donate the house to the church?”
The priest pauses… then leans closer and whispers,
“Next time… take enough for a bigger one.” 😄
