As the man was snoring in the front row one Sunday, the preacher determined he would teach him not to sleep during the sermon. So, in a whisper, he asked the congregation. "All who want to go to heaven, please rise." Everyone got up except the snorer. After whispering "Be seated", the minister shouted at the top of his voiced, "All those who want to be with the devil, please rise."
Awaking with a start(嚇一跳) , the sleepy-head jumped to his feet and saw the preacher standing tall and angry in the pulpit(講道壇) , "Well, sir," he said, "I don't know what we're voting on, but it looks like you and me are the only ones for it."
牧師非常生氣,因?yàn)榭傆幸粋€(gè)人在他說(shuō)教時(shí)打瞌睡。
一個(gè)星期天,正當(dāng)坐在前排的那個(gè)人又在瞌睡時(shí),牧師決定要好好教育他一下,讓他不要再在布道時(shí)睡覺(jué)。于是他低聲對(duì)信徒們說(shuō):“想去天堂的人,都請(qǐng)站起來(lái)吧。”所有的人都站了起來(lái)——當(dāng)然,除了那個(gè)打瞌睡的人。在低聲說(shuō)過(guò)請(qǐng)坐后,牧師高聲喊道:“想去下地獄的人請(qǐng)站起來(lái)!”
打瞌睡的人被這突然的喊叫聲驚醒了,他站了起來(lái)。看到牧師高站在教壇上,正生氣的看著他。這個(gè)人說(shuō)道:“噢,先生,我不知道我們?cè)谶x什么,但看上去只有你和我是候選人。”
