Catholic Smile:

A new priest, born and raised in Kentucky, 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 a 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?"
