A minister was completing a temperance sermon.
With great emphasis he said,
"If I had all the beer in the world, I'd take it and pour it into the river."
... With even greater emphasis he said,
... ... "And if I had
all the wine in the world, I'd take it and pour it into the river."
And then finally, shaking his fist in the air, he said,
"And if I had all the whiskey in the world,
I'd take it and pour it into the river."
Sermon complete, he sat down.
The song leader stood very cautiously and announced
With a smile, nearly laughing, "For our closing song,
Let us sing Hymn #365,
'Shall We Gather at the River.'
See you at the river!
Ha! Hey if the beer lamp is lit you might as well go where the beer is!
I can explain it to you but I can't understand it for you.
