Three clergy men from our town had tried for years to get
Bob to quit drinking. Finally Bob took
the pledge and stopped drinking. To
celebrate his mighty achievement, Bob invited the three clergy men to his home
for dinner a week from Friday. As the day
drew near, Bob was hurting badly for a drink but he didn’t want to disappoint the
clergy men and was beside himself on what to do.
Finally he came up with an idea. He would serve watermelon for desert at the
dinner and before his guests arrive he would inject the melon with two quarts
of 100 proof vodka. The day for the big
dinner arrived and the melon was appropriately “basted.” The clergy men arrived and enjoyed a nice
dinner with Bob.
At the end of the
meal Bob served up the watermelon to the clergy men. Minister #1 ate two slices of the vodka
infused melon and raved how good it was.
Minister #2 ate three slices of the boozy melon and told Bob he had
never had a finer meal in his life.
Minister #3 just smiled and kept sneaking watermelon seeds into his
pockets.
