An Old Woman in the Confessional

Wuerttemberg, the part of Germany where I live once used to be the Kingdom of Wuerttemberg, a protestantic country. Nevertheless the former kings seem to have been not that strict in religious things and so some parts that had belonged to monastaries or other ecclesiastic lordship remained catholic. Therefore you can still find merely catholic villages and areas in Wuerttemberg. One of these areas is the Wuerttembergian part of the Haertsfeld the eastmost part of the Swabian Alb or Swabian Jura which partly belongs to the merely catholic Bavaria although the people there are swabish.

And this is where our little story happened:

And old woman from a small village on the Haertsfeld went to church to shrive. Once in the confessional and having confessed some minor sins she took a deep breath and said:

"Very Reverend Father, I once seduced a young man..."

The priest was shocked: "But Ma'am... In your age?"

The old woman: "Oh, this happened 50 years ago but I still enjoy so much to confess it!"
