Strapped yourself in? Good. Let’s go …

‘The village I live in had the same parish priest for many years. People used to joke about how his housekeeper was like his wife.

‘Then he retired and they eloped to a different town. They had been in a long term relationship in plain view, but no one genuinely suspected what was actually going on between them.’

‘He tells us he seen us on the cameras he put up and then unprompted tells us this story.

‘He says, sure I out these cameras up there now because something was taking big bear looking shites on my property and I wanted to get a look at the animal that was leaving these fucking things.

‘This was before my time but a dairy farmer down the road from me had an affair with the parish priest. His wife found out when she arrived home to find them in bed together – she left him and the priest was moved to another parish but your man is still living in the village.

‘There was apparently lots of tension in the village afterwards because he was still allowed to be first up the alter rails to kiss the cross that Easter lol.

‘Also it was the same priest who actually officiated the marriage between him and his wife ☠️☠️☠️’
