A minister finds a box in his closet with three eggs and $100. His wife admits she put an egg in the box every time he gave a bad sermon\u2014and sold each dozen eggs for $1. Relieved that he\u2019d only given three bad sermons in 25 years, the minister is proud\u2026 until he realizes how much she earned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Later, Mrs. Jones complains that her husband falls asleep during sermons. The minister suggests she poke him with a hatpin whenever he signals. It works\u2014until the minister gestures too much during a passionate sermon. Mrs. Jones keeps poking, and when the minister asks, \u201cWhat did Eve say to Adam after their 99th son?\u201d Mr. Jones shouts, \u201cPoke me again and I\u2019ll shove that pin where you\u2019ll never find it!\u201d The congregation replies, \u201cAmen.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
