A man was in bed with a married woman when they heard a door slam
downstais.  "Oh, no!" she said, "It's my husband!  Quick, hide in
the closet!"  The man hurried into the closet and closed the door.
He heard a small voice say "It's very dark in here."
"Who is that?" he asked.
"That's my mother out there," the voice said, "and I'm going to scream."
"No, no, no!"
"Ok, but it'll cost you!"
"Here's five dollars," the man said (where'd he have his wallet?).
"I'm going to scream."
"Ok, here's ten dollars."
"I'm going to scream."
"Here's twenty dollars," the man said, panicing.
"Nope," said the voice.
Soon, the voice had bidded the man past $35.
"Forty dollars is all I have," the man said, with fear in his voice.
"I'll take it."
At last, the husband left, and the man was able to escape.

That afternoon, the mother took her son shopping.
"I want that bike, Mom," the boy said.
"No, son, it costs too much."
"But, I have forty dollars!"
"Where'd you get that kind of money?"
The boy wouldn't talk, she began to berate him, but he simply would
not say where the money came from.  Finally, disgusted, she took him
to the neighboorhood church and approached the parish priest.
"Father, my soon has forty dollars, and he won't tell me where he
got it, maybe you can find out."
The priest nodded, and led the boy into the confessional.  The boy sat
down in one part of the booth, and the priest in the other.
"It's very dark in here," the boy said.
"Now don't start that, again," the priest said.
