A  married woman is having an affair.  Whenever her lover comes over, she puts
her nine year old son in the closet.  One day the woman hears a car in
the driveway and puts her lover in the closet, as well.

Inside the closet, the little boy says, "It's dark in here, isn't it?"  "Yes
it is," the man replies.  "You wanna buy a baseball?" the little boy asks.
"No thanks," the man replies.  "I think you do want to buy a baseball," the
little extortionist  continues.  "OK.  How much?" the man replies after
considering the position he is in.

"Twenty-five dollars," the little boy replies.  "TWENTY-FIVE DOLLARS?!" the
man repeats incredulously, but complies to protect his hidden position.

The following week, the lover is visiting the woman again when she hears a car
in the driveway and, again, places her lover in the closet with her little
boy.

"It's dark in here, isn't it?" the boy starts off. "Yes it is," replies the
man.  "Wanna buy a baseball glove?" the little boy asks.  "OK.  How much?" the
hiding lover responds, acknowledging his disadvantage.

"Fifty dollars," the boy replies and the transaction is completed.  The  next
weekend, the little boy's father says "Hey, son.  Go get your ball and
glove and we'll play some catch."  "I can't.  I sold them," replies the little
boy.

"How much did you get for them?" asks the father, expecting to hear the profit
in terms of lizards and candy.  "Seventy-five dollars," the little boy says.

"SEVENTY-FIVE DOLLARS?!  That's thievery!  I'm taking you to the church right
now.  You must confess your sin and ask for forgiveness", the father explains
as he hauls the child away.

At the church, the little boy goes into the confessional, draws the
curtain, sits down, and says "It's dark in here, isn't it?"  "Don't you start
that shit in here now," the priest says.
