Advising The New Priest

The new priest is nervous about hearing confessions, so he asks the older
priest to sit in on his sessions. The new priest hears a couple of
confessions, then the old priest asks him to step out of the confessional
for a few suggestions.
The old priest suggests, "Cross your arms over your chest, and rub your chin
with one hand ...and try saying things like 'yes, I see,' and 'yes, go on,'
and 'I understand.'..."
The new priest crosses his arms, rubs his chin with one hand and repeats all
the suggested remarks to the old priest.
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'?"
