The Reverend John Fuzz was pastor of a
small congregation in a little Pennsylvania town. One day he was walking down Main Street
and he happened to notice a female member of his congregation sitting in the town bar,
drinking beer. The reverend thought this was sinful and not something a member of his
congregation should do, so he walked through the open door of the bar and sat down next to
the woman.
"Mrs. Fitzgerald," the reverend
said sternly. "This is no place for a member of my congregation. Why don't you let me
take you home?"
"Sure," she said with a slur,
obviously very drunk.
When Mrs. Fitzgerald stood up from the bar,
she began to weave back and forth. The reverend realized that she had had to much to drink
and he grabbed hold of her arms to steady her. When he did, they both lost their balance
and tumbled to the floor.
After rolling around for a few seconds, the
reverend wound up lying on top of Mrs. Fitzgerald, her skirt hiked up to her waist. The
bartender looked over the bar and said, "Here, here, buddy, we won't have any of that
carrying on in this bar!"
The reverend looked up at the bartender and
said, "But you don't understand, I'm Pastor Fuzz."
The bartender nodded, "Hell then, if
you're that far in, you might as well finish up."
