HAHA! Incredible, it's great I'm seeing this move around.
I don't know how accurate what's-his-face's answer is down there, but it comes from standup comedian Eddie Izzard's "Dress To Kill" tour.
He's making fun of catholicism, as he makes fun of almost everything, and talks about original sin.
"Original sin. What a hellish idea that is!
Oh, bless me father, for I have sinned. I, ah... slept with my neighbor's wife.
Ah, heard it! I asked for ORIGINAL sin! Ten Our Fathers and ten Hello Dollys.
Bless me Father, for I have sinned. I poked a badger with a spoon.
Oh, now that IS an original sin! Never heard that one!
Well, what should I do?
Well, drink ten Bloody Marys... and... you won't remember."
Eddie Izzard is a fantastic comedian and I highly recommend you get ahold of a DVD of "Dress to Kill" or the "Circle" tour. It really is great. ]
