A man was in bed with a married woman when they heard the door open.  "Oh my
God," she gasped, "it is my husband! Quick hide in the closet!"

The man hurried into the closet and closed the door. Suddenly, he heard a
small voice say, "It's very dark in here."

"Who is that?"

"That's my mother out there," the small voice replied.  "And now I am going to
scream."

"Please don't" said the man.

"Okay, but it will cost you money"

"Here is $10!"

"I am going to scream," said the small voice.

"Here's $20."

Finally, when the boy turned down $35, the man said.  "All I have is $40."

"I'll take it."

At last, the husband left and the man was able to get out of the closet.

That afternoon, the mother took the boy with her on a shopping trip.

"I want to get the bicycle," he said.

The mother said, "No, you can't, it costs too much money."

The boy said "I've got $40"

The mother asked him where he got the money, but the boy would not talk.  She
began to berate him and still he refused to tell.  She spanked him but still 
no answer.  Finally, twisting his arm, she dragged him to the nearby 
neighborhood church and approached the parish priest.  "Father, my son has 
forty dollars and he won't tell me where he got it.  Maybe you can find out!"

The priest nodded.  He led the boy into the confession booth.  The boy sat on 
one side with the priest in the other.  The boy said, "It is very dark in 
here."

And the priest said, "Now don't you start with that again!"
