It was Christmas and everyone seemed to he having a great time, but Father Akpos was not. He suddenly said to Father Johnny; You know what. Im fed up with all this good behaviour and clean living. Why dont we go out and have a good old sinful night out. We could drink, go with loose women and do whatever takes our fancy. Father Johnny replied; Are you mad? This is a small town. Everyone knows who we are. Father Akpos said; I dont mean we should do it here. We could dress like everyone else and take the train to the city. After much persuasion Father Johnny agreed to do so and off they went that night and partied until morning. They arrived home and it was then that the gravity of what they had done began to dawn on Father Johnny. Father Johnny exclaimed; Oh my God. We are going to have to confess our misdemeanor. Dont worry....replie d Father Akpos. Ive already thought about this. You get changed and go into the confessional and Ill tell you all about my misdeeds and you can absolve me. Then, Ill do the same for you. So, a short while later Father Akpos went to the church and entered the confessional. Father, forgive me for I have sinned. I went out with a friend to celebrate Christmas last night and got drunk, had intimate relations with women, danced to wicked music and used foul language. Father Johnny said; God is patient and forgiving and so am I. Do five Our Fathers, five Hail Marys and your sins will be forgiven. A short while later their positions were reversed and Father Johnny confessed everything in great detail. This is an outrage. exclaimed Father Akpos. What kind of priest are you? Do five hundred Our Fathers, Five hundred Hail Marys, donate all your income for the next three months to the church, go right round the church on your knees fifty times, asking Gods forgiveness as you do so. Then come back to me and maybe Ill consider absolution. What? exclaimed the astonished Father Johnny; What about our agreement? Akpos replied; What I do with my time off is one thing, but I take my job very serious.
