[AT] Preachers and Dynamite?

[Charlie V]

Getting back to the Minister with a quarter stick in the West yard to
awaken the congregation mid sermon, the following was sent to me this
morning.  It is perhaps an answer to one of the great mysteries of
life.

New Dentures

         A Preacher goes to the dentist for a set of false teeth. The
first Sunday after he gets his new teeth, he talks for only
eight minutes. The second Sunday, he talks for only ten minutes.
The following Sunday, he talks for 2 hours and 48 minutes.

        The congregation had to mob him to get him down from the pulpit
and they asked him what happened.

        The Preacher explains the first Sunday his gums hurt so bad he
couldn't talk for more than 8 minutes. The second Sunday his gums
hurt too much to talk for more than 10 minutes. But, the third
Sunday, he put his wife's teeth in by mistake and he couldn't
shut up...

No antique tractors were damaged during the posting of this message!
