Sleeping in Church
A man approached the minister at his church...."Reverend,"
he said,
"We have a problem. My wife keeps falling asleep during your
sermons. It's very embarrassing, not to mention disrespectful. What
can I do?"
"I've noticed this and have an idea if you're up to the
task," said the minister. "Take this hat pin with you. I can see when
Mrs. Jones is sleeping, and will motion to you. When I motion, you
give her a good Poke in the leg with the hat pin.
He agreed to the plan. In church the following Sunday, Mrs.. Jones
dozed off. Noticing this, the preacher put his plan to work. "And who
made the ultimate! sacrifice for you?" he said nodding to Mr. Jones.
"Jesus!" Mrs. Jones cried out as her husband jabbed her in the leg
with the sharp hat pin. "Yes! You are correct, Mrs. Jones!" came the
minister's quick reply. Mrs. Jones then turned and glared angrily at
her husband. Mrs. Jones again nodded off. The minister noticed. "Who
is your redeemer?" he asked the congregation, motioning toward Mr.
Jones.
"My God!" howled Mrs. Jones as she was stuck again with the pin.
"Right again!" Bellowed the minister, a slight grin on his face.
Mrs. Jones again gave her husband a real hard threatening glare.
Before long, though, she again nodded off. This time
however,
the minister did not notice. As he picked up the tempo of his
sermon, he made a few hand gestures that Mr. Jones mistook as
signals
to sharply poke his wife with the hat pin again.
The minister asked, "And what did Eve say to Adam after she
bore him his 99th son?"
Mrs. Jones jumped up and shouted, "You stick that thing in
me one more time and I'll break it in half and shove it where the sun
don't shine!"
