 SELLING BIBLES
(If this doesn't make you laugh, just go ahead and close your
casket!)

A pastor concluded that his church was getting into very serious
financial troubles. While
checking the church storeroom, he discovered several cartons of
new bibles that had never been opened and distributed.

So at his Sunday sermon, he asked for three volunteers from the
congregation who would be willing to sell the bibles door-to-door
for $10 each to raise the desperately needed money for the church.

Jack, Paul and Louie all raised their hands to volunteer for the
task.
The minister knew that Jack and Paul earned their living as
salesmen and were likely capable of selling some bibles. But he had
serious doubts about Louie who was a local farmer, who had always
kept to himself because he was embarrassed by his speech
impediment.

Poor Louie stuttered badly. But, NOT WANTING TO discourage Louie,
the minister decided to let him try anyway.

He sent the three of them away with the back seat of their cars
stacked with bibles. He asked them to meet with him and report the
results of their door-to-door selling efforts the following Sunday.

Anxious to find out how successful they were, the minister
immediately asked Jack, 'Well, Jack, how did you make out selling
our bibles last week?'

Proudly handing the reverend an envelope, Jack replied, 'Using my
sales prowess, I was able to sell 20 bibles, and here's the $200 I
collected on behalf of the church.'

'Fine job, Jack!' The minister said, vigorously shaking his
hand... 'You are indeed a fine salesman and the Church is indebted
to you.'

Turning to Paul, 'And Paul, how many bibles did you sell for the
Church last week?'
Paul, smiling and sticking out his chest, confidently replied, 'I
am a professional salesman. I sold 28 bibles on behalf of the
church, and here's $280 I collected.'
The minister responded, 'That's absolutely splendid, Paul. You
are truly a professional
salesman and the church is indebted to you.'

Apprehensively, the minister turned to Louie and said, 'And
Louie, did you manage to sell any bibles last week?' Louie silently
offered the minister a large envelope.

The minister opened it and counted the contents. 'What is this?'
the minister exclaimed.
'Louie, there's $3200 in here! Are you suggesting that you sold
320 bibles for the church, door to door, in just one week?'

Louie just nodded.

'That's impossible!' both Jack and Paul said in unison. 'We are
professional salesmen, yet you claim to have sold 10 times as many
bibles as we could.'

you'd better explain how you managed to accomplish this, Louie.'
Louie shrugged.. 'I-I-I re-re-really do-do-don't kn-kn-know
f-f-f-for sh-sh-sh-sure,' he stammered.

Impatiently, Peter interrupted. 'For crying out loud, Louie, just
tell us what you said to them when they answered the door!'

'A-a-a-all I-I-I s-s-said wa-wa-was,' Louis replied,
'W-w-w-w-would y-y-y-you l-l-l-l-l-like t-t-to b-b-b-buy
th-th-th-this b-b-b-b-bible f-f-for t-t-ten b-b-b-bucks

---o-o-o-or--- wo-wo-would yo-you
j-j-j-just l-like m-m-me t-t-to st-st-stand h-h-here and
r-r-r-r-r-read it t-to y-y-you??'
May I assume you're not here to inquire about the alcohol or the tobacco?

One of my personal current interests is nest predators and how a majority of hunters, where legal bait to the extent of chumming coons.  However once they get the predators concentrated they don't control them.
