Football Boots
>> Woman takes a lover home during the day while her husband is at work.
>>
>> Her 9 year old son comes home unexpectedly, sees them, and hides in
>> the bedroom cupboard to watch. Just after getting into bed the
>> woman's husband also comes home unexpectedly, she tells her lover to
>> hide in the cupboard, not realising that the little boy is in there.
>>
>> After a little while the little boy says, 'Dark in here.
>>
>> The man, who obviously got a real fright not expecting to hear
>> anything, let alone from a little boy says, 'Yes, it is.'
>>
>>
>> Boy - 'I have a football.'
>>
>> Man - 'That's nice.'
>>
>> Boy - 'Want to buy it?'
>>
>> Man - 'No, thanks.'
>>
>> Boy - 'My dad's outside.'
>>
>> Man - 'OK, how much?'
>>
>> Boy - '$ 250'
>>
>> In the next few weeks, it happens again that the boy and the lover
>> are in the cupboard together.
>>
>> Boy - 'Dark in here.'
>>
>> Man - 'Yes, it is.'
>>
>> Boy - 'I have football boots.'
>>
>> The lover, remembering the last time, asks the boy, 'OK How much this
>> time?'

>> and football, let's go outside and have a game of soccer.
>>
>> The boy says, 'I can't, I sold my ball and boots.'
>> The father asks, 'How much did you sell them for and to who?'
>>
>> The boy says, 'To a friend of mine for a $ 1,000..'
>>
>> The father says, 'That's a terrible thing to do, overcharging your
>> friend like that'. 'That's four times what they cost when they were
>> new, I'm going to take you to church and make you confess your
>> terrible sins.'
>>
>> They go to the church and the father makes the little boy sit in the
>> confession booth and he closes the door.
>>
>> The boy says, 'Dark in here'..
>>
>> The priest says, 'Don't start that again you little prick, you're in
>> my cupboard now'!!
