𝔸 married man went into the confessional and said to his priest, "I almost had an affair with a woman who lives on my street."
The priest said, "What do you mean, almost?"
The man said, "Well, we took our clothes off and rubbed against each other, but then I stopped."
The priest said, "Rubbing together is the same as putting it in. You're not to see that woman again. For your penance, say five Hail Mary's and put €50 in the poor box."
The man left the confessional, said his prayers, and then walked over to the poor box. He paused for a moment and then started to leave.
The priest, who was watching, quickly ran over to him and said, "I saw that. You didn't put any money in the poor box!"
The man replied, "Yeah, but I rubbed the €50 on the box, and according to you, it's the same as putting it in!"
The man says they took their clothes off. That's a phrasal verb. He could very well have said "We stripped". The verb "to strip" is the same one used in "strip tease". And since "tease" means "taquiner", I'll let you imagine the rest.
