AN ALTER BOY'S CONFESSION

AN ALTER BOY'S CONFESSION

This could only happen with a little Ghanaian kid..

'Bless me Father, for I have sinned. I have been with a loose girl'.

The priest asks, 'Is that you, little Joey Andoh?'

'Yes, Father, it is.'

'And who was the girl you were with?'

'I can't tell you, Father, I don't want to ruin her reputation'

Well, Joey, I'm sure to find out her name sooner or later so you may as well tell me now.

Was it Mary Ansah?'

'I cannot say.'

'Was it Teresa Ewusie?'

'I'll never tell.'

'Was it Nina Blankson?'

'I'm sorry, but I cannot name her..'

'Was it Yaa Foriwaa?'

'My 2 lips are sealed.'

'Was it Cecelia Acheampong, then?'

'Please, Father, I cannot tell you.'

The priest sighs in frustration. 'You're very tight lipped, Joey Andoh, and I admire that. But you've sinned and have to atone. You cannot be an altar boy for 4 months. Now you go and behave yourself.'

Joey walks back to his pew, and his friend Frank slides over and whispers,

'What did you get?'

"4 months vacation and five solid good leads on the easiest targets in town."
