The New Priest

A new priest, born and raised in Texas, 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, and 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 kiddin... what happened next?'
