A guy goes to confession one day...
A guy goes to confession one day, and says to the priest, "Bless me, Father, for I have sinned. I blew bubbles in the park."
The priest, not knowing what possible rule this could have been violating, but nevertheless knowing that this man felt guilty, said, "Very well, my son. Say three Hail Marys. Go in peace."
A short time later, another young man gets in the confessional booth and says the same thing. "Bless me, Father, for I have sinned. I blew bubbles in the park."
Somewhat more confident, the priest said, "Say three Hail Marys. Go in peace."
Not even a minute after the second identical confession, a third young man came into the booth. "Bless me, Father, for I have sinned."
"Let me guess," said the priest. "You blew bubbles in the park."
"No," said the young man, somewhat nervously. "I'm Bubbles."
