A lesson learned

A MINISTER decided that a visual demonstration would add emphasis to his Sunday sermon. Four worms were placed into four separate jars. The first worm was put into a container of alcohol. The second worm was put into a container of cigarette smoke. The third worm was put into a container of chocolate syrup. The fourth worm was put into a container of good clean soil. At the conclusion of the sermon, the Minister reported the following results: The first worm in alcohol … Dead. The second worm in cigarette smoke … Dead. Third worm in chocolate syrup … Dead. Fourth worm in good clean soil … Alive. So the Minister asked the congregation, “What did you learn from this demonstration?” Maxine was sitting in the back, quickly raised her hand and said . . . “As long as you drink, smoke and eat chocolate, you won’t have worms!” That pretty much ended the service! – Thanks to Jean White for this joke.
