Sermons

The congregation liked their new clergyman, but were somewhat puzzled by his speaking style. His first sermon ran only eight minutes; the second Sunday he spoke for 45 minutes; the third week he rattled on for an hour-and-a-half.

That was enough for the Board to summon him for a little chat.

To their relief, Wilkerson had a ready explanation.

"The Saturday before the first sermon, I had my teeth pulled and my mouth was still terribly sore. But, by the time a week had gone by, I'd gotten used to my new dentures."

Here the minister paused, and blushed deeply. "And as for last Sunday...well, I'm afraid that I picked up my wife's set of teeth by mistake!"
