During one of our weekly weight-loss classes, the group leader was extolling the merits of the program's prepared food products.

All of a sudden, one of the brothers died.

The pastor gave his word and deposited the check. The next day at the funeral, the pastor did not hold back. ?He was an evil man,? he said. ?He cheated on his wife and abused his family.? After going on in this vein for a small time, he concluded with: ?But, compared to his brother, he was a saint.?
