Four Worms & A Lesson September 25, 2011
Posted by nrhatch in Food & Drink, Happiness, Humor, Joke.trackback
A minister decided that a visual demonstration would add emphasis to his Sunday sermon.
He placed four worms into four separate jars:
* The first filled with alcohol.
* The second filled with cigarette smoke.
* The third filled with chocolate syrup.
* The fourth filled with good clean soil.
At the end of the sermon, the Minister reported the following results:
* The first worm in alcohol ~ Dead.
* The second worm in cigarette smoke ~ Dead
* The third worm in chocolate syrup ~ Dead
* The fourth worm in good clean soil ~ Alive
The Minister then asked, “What can you learn from this demonstration?”
An old woman sitting in the back of the church quickly raised her hand and said, “As long as you drink, smoke and eat chocolate, you won’t have worms!”
That pretty much ended the service.

Hahaha…
very funny!
And suddenly I feel so very… HEALTHY, too
(I’ve just given up eating dirt, you know) 😉 !
No more mud pies, eh? 😉
Laugh Out Loud moment . . . for real. 😀
Oh, good! You need a few laughs after the scare you had this week. 😆
LOL! Fantastic, Nancy…just love it.
How’s that for thinking outside the glass jar? 😆
Heard it before, but love it, love it, love it!
Have you heard the one about the minister’s sermon on forgiveness? When he asked, “Who among you, my brethren, doesn’t need to forgive someone,” one little old lady raised her hand.
The surprised minister invited her up to the podium and asked her to reveal her secret to forgiveness.
To which she replied, “Old age, sonny. I’ve outlived all those SOBs.”
That is so great. I love it, Rose. What sweet “revenge” to outlive all those SOBs. 😆
Funny …. Thank you. I needed some laughter today. Have a great sunday.
Glad to oblige ~ Janna’s post reminded me of this little gem. She’s going to be teaching cub scouts about worms at the next den meeting. 😀
Good one!
Seems like George Burns had the right idea all along ~ a drink in one hand and a cigar in the other. 😀
Pretty much my approach also. No worms here.
Exactly! Crowd out those little nasties with a bit of “life balance” (à la George Burns). 😉
Thanks for linking back to this in your comment. After I read it, I wondered how I had missed this post…then I saw it’s a brand new post 🙂
I don’t know…if I have to eat dirt (even if it is good, clean soil) to live, I think I’d rather go for the chocolate syrup and enjoy my last moments.
Probably not the point of the sermon, though!
This joke is probably a little too mature for your den of cub scouts, but I thought it might give you something to smile about as you plan the lesson.
That’s hilarious… but what did the preacher mean by that demonstration?
I expect he wanted to encourage parishioners to identify with the live worm . . . by eschewing alcohol, tobacco, and chocolate.
His demo backfired . . . due to the firecracker in his flock. 😆
Sounds as though it’s time for me to take up smoking. Occasional drinks and chocolates obviously aren’t enough
Thanks for the giggle.
Glad it was good for a giggle. 😀
This is a falling about laughing blog post. Thanks Nancy 🙂
Glad you enjoyed, Judith! Seemed a perfect post for a Sunday afternoon. 😀
horid alternates
huh?
I love that woman!
She rocks! 😀
LOL! so funny!
He got a bit more than he bargained for with that woman in his congregation! 😉
There’s often someone who keeps humour flowing in the face of rampant religion!
Well, I know that I do my best. 😆
quintessential nrhatch! love it! mind if i borrow it with a reference back, of course? btw…how do you make that smiley face where the lips keep moving? 🙂
Absolutely . . . share away.
And to make the face, type : lol : without spaces. 😆
Congratulations, you have won!!!
Thanks, Denise. Shall be around shortly. 😀
And Beer to reach your belly 😉
According to my great aunt, It’s the belly that keeps up the back.
Funny 🙂
Hehe like it!
That is a total gem! 😆
Nothing like a quick-witted firecracker in the congregation to liven up a Sunday sermon. 😀
Well I certainly wouldn’t want to give up the nice things in life in order to live longer – it’s the QUALITY that counts!
Same here, Denise. If life isn’t fun any more, why bother?
Very funny – and strangely one that I have not heard before. I’ve given lectures like that before. I always like to think it is Spirit’s way of warming up the audience for me and relax the listeners 😛
We learn more when we are relaxed and happy . . . so starting a presentation with a good joke is a great idea.
lol
Nothing like a snappy comeback from the peanuts in the gallery, eh?
Still rolling on the floor laughing… 🙂
This has been my TOP post for the week . . . with 907 views. Lots of people on the floor laughing. 😆
I “stumbled” it and it says 674 – but I wasn’t the only “Stumbler” so I can’t take the credit! There were 5 of us!
Thanks, Robyn!
When I glanced at the stats earlier today, I noticed a BIG boost in average page views. Always a nice surprise. 😀
Excellent! I don’t think we can add much to her response!
Except. Unlike smoking you can’t get cancer or certain smoking related illness from passively watching someone eat chocolate or drink alcohol.
Mmm . . . chocolate. 😀
We have a dessert in th UK called death my chololate!
Trust me it is aptly named…IT is so scrummy you can’t stop eating it
LOL
I’ve heard of Death by Chocolate, but never had it. Bet I would like it. 😀
means yo mamma should not yell at you when you come home covered with dirt as it shows you’ve done no evil
Unless, of course, you’re covered in dirt because you fell down drunk. 😆
Love it!
Nothing like being a bit more outspoken as we age, eh? 😉
ha ha, that one got me in the funny bone. had to share this story with someone right away – who found it funny, too. it actually reminds me of a similar story, except that this is at the other end of the age spectrum: http://kommentsbykris.wordpress.com/2011/07/22/sunny-moment/
That’s great . . . butt dust! 😉
Hahahaha.. just what I needed on an early morning. Thanks for the laugh! 😀
Glad you enjoyed! 😀
