A man approached 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're up to
the task," said the minister.
"Take this hat pin with you. I can see when Mrs. Jones
is sleeping, and will motion to you.
When I motion, you give her a good Poke in the leg
with the hat pin. He agreed to the plan.
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 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
church...."Reverend," he said, "We have a problem.
My wife keeps falling asleep during your sermons. It's
very embarrassing, not to mention disrespectful.

"I've noticed this and have an idea if you're up to
