Another tale

[tuttlejr]

An elderly Italian Jewish man wanted to unburden his guilty
conscience by talking to his Rabbi.

"Rabbi, during World War 2, when the Germans entered Italy,
I pretended to be a Catholic and changed my name from Levy
to Spamoni, and I am alive today because of it."

"Self preservation is allowable, and the fact that you never
forgot that you were a Jew is admirable," said the Rabbi.

"Rabbi, during the war, a beautiful Jewish woman knocked on
my door and asked me to hide her from the Germans. I hid her
in my attic and they never found her."

"That was a wonderful thing you did and you have no need to
feel guilty."

"It's worse Rabbi. I was weak and told her she must repay me
with sensual favours, which she did, repeatedly."

"You were both in great danger and would have suffered terribly
if the Germans had found her. There is a favorable balance
between good and evil, and you will be judged kindly.
Give up your feelings of guilt."

"Thank you, Rabbi.
That's a great load off my mind. But I have one more question."

"And what is that?"

"Should I tell her the war is over?"

That's Bad. Bill
