Patty lived on an island off Cape Cod and once a year he took the ferry to the mainland to make his Easter Duty. Then one day the ferry service was discontinued and Patty was among the missing at church. Eventually a priest friend ran into him and noted his prolonged absence.
Patty begged off claiming a lack of transportation. The padre suggested there was air service to the mainland which elicited the following reply - "Well I'll tell you father, for venial sins it's too expensive - and for mortal sins it's too dangerous!"
