Mr. Jones went to have a talk with the minister at the local 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 should I do?"
"I've noticed this and have an idea if you're up to the task" said
the minister. "Take this hatpin with you. I will be able to tell when
Mrs.Jones is sleeping and I will motion to you at specific times. When I
motion, you give her a good poke in the leg."
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 at Mr. Jones.
"Jesus!" Mrs. Jones cried out as her husband jabbed her in the leg with
the sharp object.
"Yes! You are correct Mrs. Jones." came the minister's quick reply.
Soon Mrs. Jones nodded off again. And again 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 again.
"Right again!" bellowed the minister, a slight grin on his face.
Before long, Mrs. 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 hand gestures that Mr. Jones mistook as signals to bayonet
his wife with the hatpin again.
The minister asked, "And what did Eve say to Adam before she bore him
his 99th son?"
As Mr. Jones enthusiastically poked his wife's thigh with the hatpin
piercing her skin she screamed, "You stick that freaking thing in me one
more time and I'll break it in half and shove it up your ass!"
AMEN!" replied all the women in the congregation as they rose to clap.
