Train Graffiti Book Bless me Father for I have sinned. My last confession was...?
I read this graffiti in a holding cell in a police precinct when I accompanied my nephew to see his friend who was training to be a policeman. My question is, “When was his last confession?” Was this just a scrawl of a drunk or does this come from a book? Who said that and who was the author of the book, or the name of the book? Could you please satisfy the curiosity of this curious cat? Your thoughts, please! 10 points go to the nearest answer. Thank you.
Hahaha… Remember that curiosity killed the cat. Now, who said that? As to your question, well, the phrase comes from the book, Detective by Arthur Hailey, the New York Times Best Selling Author. Elroy “Animal” Doil, a convicted serial killer, who was on his knees before Detective Malcolm Ainslie told him: “Bless me, Father, for I have sinned. My last confession was … I don’t fuckin’ remember.” So, the answer to your question is Animal does not remember.
The book is a blockbuster of a good read. Ok, I will tell you the ending, but on second thought, why don’t you read the book yourself? If you have the time to read graffiti, then you should have the time also to read the Bible or a very sexy novel. After reading Detective, you should also read “Lady Chatterley’s Lover” or Anne Rice’ “Christ the Lord, Out of Egypt” and you are well on your way to dreaming dreams and chasing rainbows, instead of being just curious as the cat. God bless.
