And the funnies...
A church had a man in the choir who could not sing. Several people hinted to him that he could serve in other places, but he continued to come to the choir. The choir director became desperate and went to the reverend: "You have got to get that man out of the choir, " he pleaded. "If you don't, I am going to resign. The choir members are going to quit, too. Please do something."So the minister went to the man and suggested, "Perhaps you should leave the choir."
"Why should I leave the choir?" he asked.
"Well, five or six people have told me you cannot sing."
"That's nothing," the man snorted, "fifty people have told me that you can't preach!"
A lady had lost three husbands and found herself married to a fourth man. She had been married to a banker, a man in show business, a preacher, and finally to an undertaker. Someone asked her why she had married in that order. She answered, "I wanted one for the money, two for the show, three to get ready, and four to go."
