Bartender walks into a church A bartender walks into the Catholic church around the corner and enters the confessional. The window slides open and the bartender says, "Bless me Father, for I have sinned. It's been 15 years since my last confession." The priest says, "And how have you sinned my son?" The bartender says, "I have betrayed the sacred obligation of my craft, which is to listen with an open heart to the woes of others and to offer solace and wise counsel. I have been listening to people's troubles for so long, I just can't do it any more, so lately I have been pretending to listen and responding automatically with rote platitudes. I feel so guilty. I don't know what to do." After a long silence, the bartender said, "Father? Are you there?" "Sorry, what was that again?"
