Don't fall asleep in church!
One day Mrs. Jones went to have a talk with the minister at the local
church. "Reverend," she said, "I have a problem; my husband keeps falling asleep
during your sermons. It's very embarrassing. What should I do?"
"I have an idea," said the minister. "Take this hat pin with you. I
will be able to tell when Mr. Jones is sleeping, and I will motion to
you at specific times. When I motion, you give him a good poke in the leg
with the pin"
In church the following Sunday, Mr. Jones dozed off. Noticing this, the
preacher put his plan to work. "And who made the ultimate sacrifice for
you?" he said, nodding to Mrs. Jones.
"Jesus!", Jones cried as his wife jabbed him the leg with the hat-pin.
"Yes, you are right, Mr. Jones," said the minister. Soon, Mr. Jones nodded off
again. Again, the minister noticed. "Who is your redeemer?" he asked the
congregation, motioning towards Mrs. Jones.
"God!" Mr. Jones cried out as he was stuck again with the hat-pin.
"Right again," said the minister, smiling.
Before long, Mr. Jones again winked off. However, this time the minister
did not notice. As he picked up the tempo of his sermon, he made a few
motions that Mrs. Jones mistook as signals to bayonet her husband with
the hat pin again.
The minister asked, "And what did Eve say to Adam after she bore him his
99th son?"
Mrs. Jones poked her husband, who yelled, "You stick that damned thing in
me one more time and I'll break it in half and shove it up your ass!"
"Amen!" replied the congregation. |
