Â
A minister decided that a visual demonstration
would add emphasis to his Sunday sermon. So one week, he brought four worms and four jars
up to the pulpit.
The first worm he put into a jar of alcohol.
The second worm he put into a jar of cigarette smoke.
The third worm he put into a jar of sperm.
The fourth worm he put into a jar of good clean soil.
At the conclusion of the sermon, the minister reported the following results:
The first worm in alcohol -- dead.
Second worm in cigarette smoke -- dead.
Third worm in sperm -- dead.
Fourth worm in good clean soil -- alive!
So the minister asked the congregation: "What can you learn from this
demonstration?"
A little old woman in the back quickly raised her hand and said, "As long as you
drink, smoke and have sex, you won't have worms."
