Question

Bible Sales

A minister concluded that his church was getting into serious
financial troubles.

While checking the church storeroom, he discovered several cartons of
new bibles that had never been opened and distributed. So at his
Sunday sermon he asked for three volunteers from the congregation who
would be willing to sell the bibles door-to-door for $10 each to raise
the desperately needed money for the church.

Peter, Paul and Louie all raised their hands to volunteer for the
task. The minister knew that Peter and Paul earned their living as
salesmen and were likely capable of selling some bibles but he had
serious doubts about Louie. Louie was just a little local farmer, who
had always tended to keep to himself because he was embarrassed by his
speech impediment. Poor little Louis stuttered very badly. But, not
wanting to discourage poor Louis, the minister decided to let him try
anyway.

He sent the three of them away with the back seat of their cars
stacked with bibles and asked them to meet with him and report the
results of their door-to-door selling efforts the following Sunday.

Anxious to find out how successful they were, the minister immediately
asked Peter, "Well, Peter, how did you make out selling our bibles
last week?"

Proudly handing the reverend an envelope, Peter replied, "using my
sales prowess, I was able to sell 20 bibles, and here's the $200 I
collected on behalf of the church."

"Fine job, Peter!" The minister said, vigorously shaking his hand.
"You are indeed a fine salesman and the Church is indebted to you."
Turning to Paul, he asked "And Paul, how many bibles did you manage to
sell for the church last week?"

Paul, smiling and sticking out his chest, confidently replied, "I am a
professional salesman and was happy to give the church the benefit of
my sales expertise. Last week I sold 28 bibles on behalf of the
church, and here's $280 I collected."

The minister responded, "That's absolutely splendid, Paul. You are
truly a professional salesman and the church is also indebted to you."

Apprehensively, the minister turned to little Louie and said, "And
Louie, did you manage to sell any bibles last week?"

Louie silently offered the minister a large envelope. The reverend
opened it and counted the contents. "What is this?" the minister
exclaimed. "Louie, there's $3200 in here! Are you suggesting that you
sold 320 bibles for the church, door to door, in just one week?

Louie just nodded.

That's impossible!" both Peter and Paul said in unison. "We are
professional salesmen, yet you claim to have sold 10 times as many
bibles as we could."

"Yes, this does seem unlikely," the minister agreed. "I think you'd
better explain how you managed to accomplish this, Louie."

Louie shrugged "I-I-I- re-re-really do-do-don't kn-kn-know f-f-f-for
sh-sh-sh-sure," he stammered.

Impatiently, Peter interrupted. "For crying out loud, Louie, just tell
us what you said to them when they answered the door!"

"A-a-a-all I-I-I s-s-said wa-wa-was," Louis replied, "W-w-w-w-would
y-y-y-you l-l-l-l-l-like t-t-to b-b-b-buy th-th-th-this b-b-b-b-bible
f-f-for t-t-ten b-b-b-bucks ---o-o-o-or--- wo-wo-would yo-you
j-j-j-just l-like m-m-me t-t-to st-st-stand h-h-here and
r-r-r-r-r-read it t-to y-y-you?"

That was cute, I'd never heard that one before...

I have one too I just heard the other day at work,

Alittle old lady and a little old man were shopping at a store when the little old lady decided to steal a can of peaches... She got caught and taken to jail, over the next few days she was taken to see the judge, the whole time her husband stood by her side, When it was finally time to stand before the judge, he looked at her and said, "how many peaches are in a can"? The women said 7. The judge said, " ok , this is what I'll do, For every peach that is in the can, that's how many day's you'll spend in jail. The lady reached over and held her husbands hand. "So, said the judge, since there were 7 peaches in this can, you'll spend 7 days in jail. As she nodded her head, Her husband spoke up, 'ah, excuse me judge'? She also stole a can of peas.



LOL...

Answer 3

A man wrote a letter to a small hotel in a Midwest town he
planned to visit on his vacation.

He wrote:"I would very much like to bring my dog with me.
He is well-groomed and very well behaved. Would you be
willing to permit me to keep him in my room with me at
night?"

An immediate reply came from the hotel owner, who wrote:

"I've been operating this hotel for many years. In all
that time, I've never had a dog steal towels, bedclothes,
silverware or pictures off the walls. I've never had to
evict a dog in the middle of the night for being drunk
and disorderly. And I've never had a dog run out on a
hotel bill. Yes, indeed, your dog is welcome at my hotel.
And, if your dog will vouch for you, you're welcome to
stay here, too." [e-mail]

Answer 4

I suspect quite a few people go along with a religion just to get an annoying person off their backs.

Answer 5

Hahahahahahaaaa!

Answer 6

How can I feel the cheer when it is a joke against a supposedly respectful minister and against a dignified stammering friend! Please look for shorter and funnier story next time.

Answer 7

THANK YOU VERY MUCH! I needed that. Very stressful day. Wish I could give you points. Stutters shouldn't take this wrong. Sure it isn't PC. My brother was a stutterer and he loved it.

Answer 8

So, the punch line is that you make fun of the guy with a speech impediment? That's really classy. Oh wait, it isn't.

Humor at the expense of others isn't really a great way to advertise Christianity.

Answer 9

I don't think the stuttering is really necessary for this joke to work. Anyways, quite funny.

Answer 10

Hahaha good one! I enjoyed it! Thanks!

Good thing I havent met a salesman who stutters and is willing to read the Encyclopedia! =)
