Not too long ago, a large seminar was
held for ministers and reverends in
training.
Among the facilitators were many well-
known motivational speakers. One such
speaker boldly approached the pulpit
and, gathering the entire crowd's
attention, said, "The best years of my
life were spent in the arms of a woman
who wasn't my wife!"
The crowd was shocked!
He followed up by saying, "That woman
was my mother!"
The crowd burst into laughter and he
gave his speech, which was well
received.
About a week later, one of the
ministers who had attended the seminar
decided to use that joke in his
sermon. As he shyly approached the
pulpit one sunny Sunday, he tried to
rehearse the joke in his head. It was
a bit foggy to him.
Getting to the microphone he said
loudly, "The greatest years of my life
were spent in the arms of a woman who
was not my wife!"
His congregation sat shocked,
murmuring.
After standing there for almost 10
seconds trying to recall the second
half of the joke, the pastor finally
blurted out "... and I can't remember
who she was!"
*********
Moral of the story: Don't copy if you
can't paste
