Bet You Didn't Know Pastorius was an Italian American Catholic

that's him there, on the right, with our old Parish Priest Father Pfleger)

Italian Boy in confession

Bless me Father, for I have sinned.

I have been with a loose girl’.

The priest asks, ‘Is that you, little Jaco Pastorius?’

‘Yes, Father, it is.’

‘And who was the girl you were with?’

‘I can’t tell you, Father. I don’t want to ruin her reputation’.

“Well, Pastorius, I’m sure to find out her name sooner or later

so you may as well tell me now. Was it Tina Minetti?’

‘I cannot say.’

‘Was it Teresa Mazzarelli?’

‘I’ll never tell.’

‘Was it Nina Capelli?’

‘I’m sorry, but I cannot name her.’

‘Was it Cathy Piriano?’

‘My lips are sealed.’

‘Was it Rosa DiAngelo, then?’

‘Please, Father, I cannot tell you.’

The priest sighs in frustration.

‘You’re very tight lipped, and I admire that.

But you’ve sinned and have to atone.

You cannot be an altar boy now for 4 months.

Now you go and behave yourself.’

Pastorius walks back to his pew,

and his friend Midnight Rider slides over and whispers,

‘What’d you get?’

‘Four months vacation and five good leads.’



(yep, that's some Good Shit right there)
