A quick joke, from my friend Craig Monette…

This is a hoot, but I suspect the minister didn’t appreciate it.

A minister was completing a temperance sermon. With great emphasis he said,
‘If I had all the beer in the world, I’d take it and pour it into the river.’

With even greater emphasis he said,
‘And if I had All the wine in the world, I’d take it and pour it into the river.’

And then finally, shaking his fist in the air, he
Said, ‘And if I had all the whiskey in the world,
I’d take it and pour it into the river.’

Sermon complete, he sat down.

The song leader stood very cautiously and announced
With a smile, nearly laughing, ‘For our closing song,
Let us sing Hymn #365,

‘Shall We Gather at the River.’
