When advice just makes good sense

A man goes to Confession to talk to his priest. “Father, something terrible is happening and I have to talk to you about it.”

The priest asks: “What’s wrong?”

The man replies: “My wife is poisoning me.”

The priest, very surprised by this, asks: “How can that be?”

The man then pleads: “I’m telling you, I’m certain she’s poisoning me. What should I do?”

“Tell you what,” the priest offers. “Give me her name and let me talk to her. I’ll see what I can find out and I’ll let you know.”

A week later the priest calls the man and says: “I spoke to your wife. I spoke to her on the phone for three hours. You want my advice?”

The man says yes, and the priest replies: “Take the poison!”
