Heard in church today

[carpaltunnel]

Our pastor told this one today:

A pastor wanted to do an object lesson so he brought to the front of the church four glass jars.
The first one held alcohol.
The second was full of cigarette and cigar smoke.
The third, the best chocolate syrup.
The fourth, good rich black earth.

He had four nice fat healthy earthworms, and dropped one in each of the jars.

The earthworm that got the dirt, nestled in and was happy.
I'm sorry to say the three earthworms who were introduced into the other jars did not make it.

"Now", said the pastor, "what lesson can we draw from this example?"

No one responded fora long time...
Finally a woman in the back offered:
"If you drink too much, smoke too much, and eat too much chocolate, you'll never have worms."

Ha!
That reminded me of going to church up at my parents place in Oregon...
We had a group of old ladies sitting behind us. They were "whipsering" but the problem was the entire church could hear their "whispers"...
At the end of mass one of them said to the other "I prayed for my daughter in law. SOMEONE has to!".... I busted out laughing!!
