BOY AT CONFESSION
“Bless me Father, for I have sinned. I have been with a loose woman.”
The priest asks, “Is that you, little Johnny Parisi?”
“Yes, Father it is.”
“And who was the woman you were with?”
“I can’t tell you, Father. I don’t want to ruin her reputation.”
“Well, Johnny, I’m sure to find out her name sooner or later, so you may as well tell me now. Was it Tina Minetti?”
“I cannot say.”
“Was it Teresa Volpe?”
“I’ll never tell.”
“Was it Nina Capeli?”
“I’m sorry but I cannot name her.”
“Was it Cathy Piriano?”
“My lips are sealed.”
“Was it Rosa Di Angelo, then?”
“Please, Father, I cannot tell you.”
The priest sighs in frustration. “You’re very tight lipped, Johnny Parisi and I admire that. But you’ve sinned and have to atone. You cannot attend church services for 4 months. Now you go and behave yourself.”
Johnny walks back to his pew, and his friend Nino slides over and whispers, “What’d you get?”
“Four months vacation and five good leads…”
So the Fainalong’s going strong. I’m finally onto Chart B, which is repeated 4 times for the body of the scarf. Unfortunately I only knitted on the baby blanket until I ran out of yarn…AGAIN, and then on the uber-ugly roman sock from hell. Others have much more impressive progress to report:
Donna, bless her heart (stated in the true Southern fashion), was all the way up to row 100, then decided to frog it. Read why. She then began not 1 but 2 more in a different gauge, and is now having trouble deciding between the two. They’re both gorgeous!
Pacalaga’s off to a great start, and just how gorgeous is that yarn? Check out the binkies on that adorable mug in her post on Saturday! She’s having a rough day. Go give her some love.
Noolie’s working in along with 10 million other projects. Cute elephant! I just love the look of knitted toys, don’t you?
Katie’s well into Chart B. And check out her adorable kitty! I think I need to do a felted cat bed for Sassy next. Use up a shitload of that single ply I bought in bulk. Otherwise, I’ll never meet my goal of 10%. I figure, 2 strands held together, knit on sie 15 needles should just about do the trick. But NO FUN FUR! Just gotta find myself a pattern now…
So, what about you? Heard any good jokes lately?
