Sermon
It was Saturday night and the preacher still hadn't been able to think of a
sermon for the next morning. About 9:00 p.m. he finally said to his wife,
"Dear, I think I've come up with the perfect sermon! I'm going to give a
sermon about horseback riding!"
She said, "Don't be silly! You can't give a sermon about horseback riding!"
He replied, "Well, it's going to have to do because I've preached on just
about every other subject I can think of."
The next morning as they were driving to church, she said, "I can't believe
that you're insisting on doing this! You know, if you're going to give that
silly sermon on horseback riding, I'm just going to stay in the car during
the service."
He said, "OK, then, suit yourself!", so, she stayed in the car.
Entering church before the service, the preacher had a sudden inspiration
and gave a hellfire and brimstone sermon on SEX that just had the
congregation in awe.
As the congregation filed out of the church, some of the members saw his
wife sitting in the car and approached her window. One of them said, "Wow!
You just missed the best sermon your husband has ever given!"
She said, "Yeah, right! What does he know about it! He talks big but he's
only tried it twice in his life! "Once before we were married and once
after, and he fell off both times!"
