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.'”
As I just posted in one of my rare LJ posts, I used this tonight to introduce my songs in a recital. Thank you for the material. 😉
My invoice is in the post. 😉
