The Preachers Salary

The local Preacher explains that he must move on to a larger
Congregation that will pay him more. There is a hush within the congregation.
No one wants him to leave.

Fred Smith, who owns several car dealerships in Southland
And Otago, stands up and proclaims: 'If the Preacher stays, I will provide
Him with a new Holden every year and his wife with a Honda mini-van to transport
Their children!'

The congregation sighs in appreciation and applauds.
Sam Brown, a successful entrepreneur and publican, stands
And says, If the Preacher will stay on here, I'll personally double his
Salary and establish a foundation to guarantee private secondary school education of his children!'

More sighs and loud applause.
Agnes Jones, age 88, stands and announces with a smile,
' If the Preacher stays, I will give him sex.'

There is total silence.
The Preacher, blushing, asks her: 'Mrs. Jones,
Whatever possessed you to say that?'

Agnes's 90-year old husband, Joe, is now trying to
Hide, holding his forehead with the palm of his hand and shaking his head
From side to side, while his wife replies:

'Well, I just asked my husband how we could help, and
He said, 'Fuck the Preacher!'
