PEANUTS ON THE COFFEE TABLE
A preacher visits an elderly woman from his
congregation. As he sits on the couch he notices a large
bowl of peanuts on the coffee table.
"Mind if I have a few" he asks.
"No, not at all" the woman replied.
They chat for an hour and as the preacher stands to
leave, he realizes that instead of eating just a few
peanuts, he emptied most of the bowl.
"I'm terribly sorry for eating all your peanuts, I
really just meant to eat a few."
"Oh that's all right" the woman says. "Ever
since I lost my teeth all I can do is suck the chocolate
off them."
