An old German man walks into a confession booth

He tells the priest on the other side, 'Father, forgive me, for I have sinned'.

The priest says, 'God forgives all, my son. Tell me, what sin have you committed?'

The old man continues; 'Well, it was 1941, during the war, and there was this Jewish girl whose entire family had been deported. She begged me to let her hide in my house and I said yes, but only if she repaid me with sexual favours'.

The priest nodded thoughtfully, and replied; 'Well, what you did was certainly lustful, but you did a greater act of good by sheltering the persecuted in your home. God will surely forgive you for that.'

'Thank you, father' replied the old man, and as he was about to leave, he said; 'Oh, father?'

'Yes, my son?'

'Do I have to tell her the war's over?'
