A man walks into church looking a bit nervous and heads straight to the confessional.
“Forgive me, Father, for I have sinned,” he says. “I lied all week.”
The priest replies, “My son, honesty is important. Tell me—what kind of lies?”
The man sighs, “Well… I told my boss I was sick, my wife I was working late, and my friends I was on a diet.”
The priest pauses, then says, “For your penance, say 10 Hail Marys… and next Sunday, sit in the front row.”
The man panics, “Front row?! Why?!”
