Jumbo Joke: Humor the Way You Like It

The Preacher Wants More Money

Yeah, I've seen it before. But my wife sent it to me, so I'm posting it!

The Preacher was explaining that he must move on to a larger congregation that will pay him more. There is a hush within the congregation -- no one wanted him to leave.

Jerry Smith, who owns several car dealerships in the city, stands up and proclaims, "If the Preacher stays, I will provide him with a new Cadillac every two years, and his wife with a Chevy minivan to transport their children!"

The congregation sighs in relief, and applauds. Not to be outdone, his brother Sam, who owns several rental houses in town, stands and says, "If the Preacher will stay on here, I'll let him and his family stay rent free in one of my rental houses, right down the block!"

More sighs and loud applause. Gloria Dingfelder, now age 88, stands and announces with a smile, "If the Preacher stays, I will give him sex!"

There is total silence until finally the Preacher, blushing, asks her, "Mrs. Dingfelder, whatever possessed you to say that?"

Gloria's 90-year-old husband, Ron, is now trying to hide, holding his forehead with the palm of his hand, and shaking his head from side to side. His wife smiles broadly and replies, "Well, I just asked my husband how we could help, and he said, 'Screw the preacher!'"
