confession

[dunr]

I went in a high street shop today and was charged �5 for something which should have cost �22. I kept quiet even though I knew I had been undercharged.
I am a Catholic but have not been to church for over 50 years.
Would some R.C out there confess for me the next time you go, get a separate penance & let me know, I will be happy to do it
many thanks & god bless.

Must be a wind-up. Confessing by proxy? And besides, what's the point of doing penance when you've made no attempt to resolve something that can easily be resolved? You little joker, you!

[brionon]

How many times have you paid �22 for something worth �5 ? Maybe it was a miracle.

It would have been even better if it was `Buy One - Get One Free'. :0)

[Whickerman]

You've confessed to us. I hereby absolve you and ask you to do the following penance - say three Hail Marys, and then take � the difference between what you paid and what it cost - �8.50 - and donate it to Oxfam.

Jewish Joke: If we the poor could do the dying for the rich then we would never be out of a job.

After reading all your intelligent answers my conscience got the better of me & I took it back. problem is they didn't want it after it had been through my gut.
I am now saddled with a penance of 2 hail Mary's & the everlasting guilt, - I suppose it serves me right..
In nomine patre et filis et spirito sancti (forgive my spelling - it is 50 years)

[Lil O'lady]

Surely, take it back and claim a refund or credit note for �22.
Everything happens for a reason.

You're going straight to HELL for that one.

Sorry Hail Mary! Hail Mary! Hail Mary!
