Sleeping Through the Sermons
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 hatpin 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."
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
hatpin.
"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
hatpin.
"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 hatpin 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
goddamned thing in me one more time and I'll break it in half
and shove it up your butt!"
"Amen," replied the congregation.
