A new pastor was visiting members asking them to attend the service next Sun. his first as pastor. Many would ask him, have you met Fanny Green! Finally the day came and the house was full except for a seat or two on the front pew. Everyone was in place and service was close to beginning. In walked a young lady wearing a short skirt and she walked to the front pew, sat down and crossed her legs. The pastor, sitting in front of the choir and the Chm. of Deacons right behind him, turned and asked the deacon, "is that Fanny Green"? Deacon replied, no, that is the sun shining through the stained glass window! In the old days of "drummers" taking orders at country stores, one came into a store and some men were sitting around the stove. Lying on the floor was a pretty bird dog. The drummer, an avid bird hunter, flipped. He asked whose dog is that? A man allowed, "he is mine". "Is he trained? :yep, hes a goodun". Drumer said "I am going on an important hunt Sat., and just have to have that dog, I'll give you $50 for the dog". Finally the price got up to $100 at which time the ownner said ok. The drummer then said, "I don't have $100 with me but will bring it next Thursday, when I come back here. The store ownner will vouch for me, I am an Elder in the Presbyterian Church etc". Finally, he took the dog and left. Nothing said for a while, then the former dog ownner looked at another man and ask, "what is an Elder in the Presbyterian Church"? Reply was "I don't know but I think he something like a Deacon in the Baptist Church". Previous ownner declared, heck, the man stole my dog"! A couple of weeks ago a wreckless driver sideswipped my Nissan truck, no damage to me, but its now in hospital! Have to get going on the Sept. HFA Newsletter! --------------23938F5A7BCCDE0A1CC3222E--
