Clean joke
THE POWER OF SUGGESTION
------------------------------------
A local preacher was dissatisfied with the small amount in the
collection plates each Sunday. Someone
suggested to him that perhaps he might be able to hypnotize the
congregation into giving more. "And just how would I go about doing
that?" he asked.
"It is very simple. First you turn up the air conditioner
so that the auditorium is warmer than usual. Then you preach in a
monotone.
Meanwhile, you dangle a watch on a chain and swing it in a slow arc
above the lectern and suggest they put 20 dollars in the collection
plate."
So the very next Sunday, the reverend did as suggested, and lo and
behold the plates were full of 20 dollar bills. Now, the preacher did
not want to take advantage of this technique each and every Sunday.
So therefore, he waited for a couple of weeks and then tried his mass
hypnosis again. Just as the last of the congregation was becoming
mesmerized, the chain on
the watch broke and the watch hit the lectern with a loud thud and
springs and parts flew everywhere.
"Crap!" exclaimed the pastor.
It took them a week to clean up the church.
