Sleeping in 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're 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".

In church the following Sunday, Mrs. Jones dozed off.

Noticing this, the preacher 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

minister's 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 toward 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 me with that

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.
