The new priest is nervous about hearing confessions, so he
asks an older priest to sit in on his sessions. The new priest
hears a couple confessions, then the old priest asks him to
step out of the confessional for a few suggestions.
The old priest suggests, "Cross you arms over your chest, and
rub your chin with one hand." The new priest tries this. The
old priest suggests, "Try saying things like, 'I see,' 'yes,'
'go on,' 'I understand,' and 'how did you feel about that?'"
The new priest says those things, trying them out. The old
priest says, "Now, don't you think that's a little better than
slapping your knee and saying 'No shit! What happened next?'
