A Pastor went to the dentist for a set of false teeth. The first Sunday
after he got his new teeth, he talked for only eight minutes. The second
Sunday, he talked for only ten minutes. The following Sunday, he talked for
2 hours and 48 minutes.
The congregation had to mob him to get him down from the pulpit and they
asked him what happened.
The Pastor explained that the first Sunday his gums hurt so bad he couldn’t
talk for more than 8 minutes. The second Sunday his gums hurt too much to
talk for more than 10 minutes. But, the third Sunday, he put his wife’s’
teeth in by mistake . . .
