Country preacher -- too funny! Certainly something one can hear or tell in a garage
while waiting for our Pagoda repair bill
A country preacher had a teenage son, and it was getting time the boy should
give some thought to choosing a profession.
Like many young men, the boy didn't really know what he wanted to do, and he
didn't seem too concerned about it.
One day, while the boy was away to school, his father decided to try an
experiment. He went into the boy's room and placed on his study table four
objects:
A Bible, A Silver Dollar, A bottle of Jack Daniels, And a Playboy magazine.
'I'll just hide behind the door, the preacher said to himself, and when he
comes home from school this afternoon, I'll see which object he picks up.'
'If it's the Bible, he's going to be a preacher like me, and what a blessing
that would be!
'If he picks up the dollar, he's going to be a business man, and that would
be okay, too.
'But, if he picks up the bottle, he's going to be a no-good drunkard, and
Lord, what a shame that would be.
'And worst of all, if he picks up that magazine, he's going to be a
skirt-chasing bum.
'The old man waited anxiously, and soon heard his son's footsteps as he
entered the house whistling and headed for his room. The boy tossed his
books on the bed, and as he turned to leave the room, he spotted the objects
on the table. With curiosity in his eye, he walked over to inspect them.
Finally, he picked up the Bible and placed it under his arm. He picked up
the Silver Dollar and dropped into his pocket. He uncorked the bottle and
took a big drink while he admired this month's centerfold.
'Lord have mercy,' the old preacher disgustedly whispered, 'He's going to be
the next mayor of Toronto!'
Cees, If that does not bring a smile then perhaps some of the attached images might do the trick
