Four Worms and a lesson____
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 can 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!"

I guess it was a good lesson, but it's an old joke. Still funny though. First time I heard it the demonstration was done by a member of the Women's Christian Temperance Union, which was always trying to teach us kids that smoking and drinking were bad for us.
That was about 50 years ago. I never got worms.

This was not a good lesson. It would have been better for the minister to use the analogy of plants and weeds. As we reap what we sow. If you do not pull the weeds out the plant will be suffocated by them. Whereas if you do pull out the weeds (remove the bad thoughts) you will grow beautiful plants.

I am protected too.
Even though I asked the question regarding smoking in private cars, I want everybody to know that I am a smoker.

The lesson is: if you have insurmountable problems and you think of committing suicide, eat worms - less painful, easy to find and do not cost you a single centavo. hahaha!
