Humor The Pastor's Embarrassing Trick: A Tale of Humor

[tlag1986]

The story is told of a Pastor who was frustrated because of one man who always seemed to fall asleep during the sermon. So the Pastor devised a trick, a way he thought he could embarrass the man so as to get him to break this habit. Near the end of a sermon concerning "he**", the Pastor, in a normal voice, said to the congregation, "Any one here today who wants to go to he**" - - then he raised his voice to a much louder volume - - "PLEASE STAND UP!"

Of course this woke up the sleeping parishioner who quickly jumped to his feet. After collecting himself for a moment, the man then looked at the Pastor and said,

(Are you ready!!!!!)


























"Preacher, I don't know why I'm standing, but it appears that you and I are both in this boat together." :thumbup:

Haha, that's a funny story! I can definitely see why the Pastor would be frustrated with the man falling asleep during his sermons, but that trick was definitely not the best way to handle the situation. It's good that the man was able to make a joke out of it and turn the tables on the Pastor. Hopefully, they both learned something from that experience.
