When Plumbob was a newly ordained priest he was nervous about hearing confessions and asks an older priest to observe one of his sessions to give him some tips.
After a few minutes of listening, the old priest suggests that they have a word.
“I’ve got a few suggestions,” he says.
“Try folding your arms over your chest and rub your chin with one hand.”
priest Plumbob tries this.
“Very good,” says his senior.
“Now try saying things like ‘I see’,
‘I understand’ and ‘Yes, go on.’”
Plumbob the younger priest practices these sayings, too.
“Well done,” says the older priest.
“Don’t you think that’s better than slapping your knee and saying: No way! What happened next?”
funny but good old plumbob was just being honest with his feelings

Well when I hear confessions like this one, I kinda get excited.
A young Lady came upon my confessional the other day for confession,
Going through the normal sins i got a Oh by the way Father, I have really sinned. I cheated on my husband.
Of course I understand i said to her i was once loss and now i am found.
For penance, go around the church as many times as you cheated on him.
Her reply: " On foot "?

A good one, Troy, thanks for sharing.
I would enjoy priest Plumbob. He's taking the fear and stress out of the confessional. Bless you Father Plum.
Sounds like Father Plumbob would be a great wingman on a Saturday night!!
😂🤪🤣
