A minister passed along to a beginning preacher a trick he used
when he saw the congregation nodding a bit.
I suddenly say to them, "Last night I held another man's wife in my arms."
When everyone sits up, shocked, I continue, "it was my own dear mother."
The young preacher thought he'd try it.
The next Sunday when most members of his congregation were drowsy,
he said in a loud voice,
"You know, last night I held another man's wife in my arms."
Stunned, the congregation sat bolt upright and stared,
where upon the preacher stammered,
"Oh, dear -- I've forgotten who she was."
