A little light humor
An old country preacher had a teenage son, and it
was getting time the boy should give some thought
to choosing a profession. Like many young men his
age, the boy didn't really know what he wanted to
do, and he didn't seem too concerned about it. One
day, while the boy was away at school, his father
decided to try an experiment. He went into the
boy's room and placed on his study table four objects:
1. Bible
2. Silver Dollar
3. Bottle of Whiskey
4. Playboy magazine
"I'll just hide behind the door", the old preacher
said to himself. "When he comes home from school
today, I'll see which object he picks up."
"If it's the Bible, he's going to be a preacher
like me, and what a blessing that would be !"
"If he picks up the dollar, he's going to be a
business man, and that would be okay, too."
"But if he picks up the bottle, he's going to be a
no-good drunken bum, and Lord, what a shame that
would be."
"And worst of all if he picks up that magazine
he's going to be a skirt-chasing womanizer."
The old man waited anxiously, and soon heard his
son's footsteps as he entered the house whistling
and heading for his room. The boy tossed his books
on the bed, and as he turned to leave the room, he
spotted the objects on the table. With curiosity
in his eye, he walked over to inspect them.
Finally, he picked up the Bible and placed it
under his arm.
He picked up the silver dollar and dropped into
his pocket
He uncorked the bottle and took a big drink, while
he admired the magazine's centerfold.
"Lord have mercy", the old preacher disgustedly
whispered, "He's going into politics!!"
