Advising the new priest

[Korumba]

The new priest is nervous about hearing confessions, so he asks the older priest to sit in on his sessions. The new priest hears a couple of confessions, then the old priest asks him to step out of the confessional for a few suggestions.
The old priest suggests, 'Cross your arms over your chest, and rub your chin with one hand ...and try saying things like 'yes, I see,' and 'yes, go on,' and 'I understand.'...'
The new priest crosses his arms, rubs his chin with one hand and repeats all the suggested remarks to the old priest.
The old priest says,... 'Now, don't you think that's a little better than slapping your knee and saying, 'No shit? What happened next'?'

Sounds like me if I went to confession,sort of like "bless me father for it has been 35yrs since my last confession",do you want the verbal version or dvd.

I liked the one where the old priest asked the new guy to take confession. When the new boy said he didn't know if he was aware of all the correct punishments the old dude said he had that covered. He had prepared a list with all the sins and the appropriate punishment.
The new priest heard a few confessions and presribed the appropriate penance without difficulty but when someone confessed to performing oral sex he was stumped, That was not on the list. Spying a young choir boy passing he accosted him and inquired if he could tell him what Father O'Brien gave for oral sex. The young boy replied he usually gave a candy bar but if he had been really good he might get a trip to the movies.

The old conflict between pain and pleasure.
My favourite 'Class Clown' said that the conflict between pain and pleasure was what disturbed him most about his Catholic upbringing.
He reckoned they were always pushing for pain and he was always pulling for pleasure.
