A man goes to 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 are up to the task," said the
minister. "Take this hat pin with you. I can see when Mrs. Jones is
sleeping and I will motion to you. When I motion, you give her a good
poke in the leg with the hat pin.
At church the following Sunday, Mrs. Jones dozed off. Noticing this,
the minister 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 ministers quick reply.
Mrs. Jones then turned and glared angrily at her husband.
Soon Mrs. Jones again nodded off. The minister noticed. "Who is your
redeemer?" he asked the congregation, motioning to 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!"
"Amen!" replied all the women in the congregation.
