Well, this is my 10th post here and I want it to be special. This is a traditional riddle from my birthplace (I'll adapt it to english, including the name):
George Washington had it long,
the priest has it but doesn't use it (it may be a little different in the US),
the wife takes it from her husband,
soccer players use it all the time. (I made this last one up)
What is it?

Well is we are talking about a Catholic Priest, then the nswer is a penus.
or maybe balls.
Otherwise, I really don't know...
And I really can't say anything about George Washington, I never knew the guy that well.

| Well, I'm not catholic, but since do priests actually not use their last names? If so, since when?

i think its meant to be more universal, like priest would go by first names such as "father john" etc.
thats how i came to the answer anyhow!
