One day Mrs. Jones went to have a talk with the
minister at the local church. "Reverend," she said, "I have a
problem--my husband keeps falling asleep during your
sermons. It's very embarrassing. What should I do?"
"I have an idea," said the minister. "Take this hatpin with
you. I will be able to tell when Mr. Jones is sleeping, and I
will motion to you at specific times. When I motion, you
give him a good poke in the leg."
In church the following Sunday, Mr. Jones dozed off.
Noticing this, the preacher put his plan to work. "And who
lay made the ultimate sacrifice for you?" he said, nodding
to Mrs. Jones.
"Jesus!" Jones cried as his wife jabbed him in the leg
with the hatpin.
"Yes, you are right, Mr. Jones," said the minister.
Soon, Jones nodded off again. Again, the minister
noticed. "Who is your redeemer?" he asked the
congregation, motioning towards Mrs. Jones.
"God!" Jones cried out as he was stuck again with the
hatpin.
"Right again," said the minister, smiling.
Before long, Jones again winked off. However, this time
the minister did not notice. As he picked up the tempo of
his sermon, he made a few motions that Mrs. Jones
mistook as signals to bayonet her husband with the hatpin
again.
The minister asked, "And what did Eve say to Adam
after she bore him his 99th son?"
Mrs. Jones poked her husband, who yelled, "You stick
that damned thing in me one more time and I'll break it off
and shove it up your ass!!!!!"
