A pastor's wife was expecting a baby, so he stood before the congregation and asked for a raise. After much discussion, they passed a rule that whenever the preacher's family expanded, so would his paycheck.
After 6 children, this started to get expensive and the congregation decided to hold another meeting to discuss the preacher's expanding salary.. A great deal of yelling and inner bickering ensued, as to how much the clergyman's additional children were costing the church, and how much more it could potentially cost.
After listening to them for about an hour, the pastor rose from his chair and spoke, 'Children are a gift from God, and we will take as many gifts as He gives us. Silence fell on the congregation.
In the back pew, a little old lady struggled to stand, and finally said in her frail voice, 'Rain is also a gift from God, but when we get too much of it, we wear rubbers.'
The entire congregation said, 'Amen.'
Don't blame me. Blame Paul the BB's friend, Kathy. No, not that Cathy...Kathy with a "K". Paul is naughty, and, of course, his friends are naughty, and see what they make me do? I couldn't help myself. It was two against one.
I love that joke!! so that makes it 3 against 1 :o)
ReplyDeleteSusan! That's piling on!
ReplyDeleteI just love it when Mimi comes all over the innocent one. Teehee.
ReplyDeleteI think I blame everyone - Kathy for sending a naughty joke, Mimi for posting it, Susan for liking it, and Paul for having naughty friends.
ReplyDeleteCathy, there's blame enough to go around, that's for sure. The blame reaches as far as anyone who reads the joke with enjoyment.
ReplyDeleteIf I didn't have naughty friends I'm not sure I'd have any friends. (Non-naughty people are soooo boring.)
ReplyDeleteThe blame reaches as far as anyone who reads the joke with enjoyment.
ReplyDeleteI shall have to blame myself too then!
PS Paul is so right about non-naughty people.
