| One Sunday, the minister noticed that one of the deacons discretely removed a $20 bill from the collection plate. He decided not to say anything, figuring the man surely had good reason for the theft. However, the deacon continued this practice whenever a $20 bill was easily accessible. Finally, the deacon began to recklessly rifle the plate for any bills totaling $20. The minister could not remain silent. After service one Sunday, the minister privately asked the deacon, "Brother, why are you taking $20 from the collection plate almost every Sunday?" The deacon looked the minister square in the face and replied simply, "For a blow job, Reverend." The minister was not familiar with the term, but not wanting to appear stupid, said "I see." After saying grace over the midday meal the minister, while serving his plate, casually asked his wife "What`s a blow job, Dear?" "Twenty bucks", she answered. |
