Four worms and a lesson
A minister decided that a visual demonstration would add emphasis to his Sunday sermon.
Four worms were placed into four separate jars:
The first worm was put into a container of alcohol;
The second worm was put into a container of cigarette smoke;
The third worm was put into a container of chocolate syrup;
The fourth worm was put into a container of good clean soil.
At the conclusion of the sermon, the Minister reported the following results:
The first worm in alcohol - Dead.
The second worm in cigarette smoke - Dead.
The third worm in chocolate syrup - Dead.
The fourth worm in good clean soil - Alive.
So the Minister asked the congregation - "What can you learn from this demonstration?"
Maxine was setting in the back, quickly raised her hand and said,
The Character of Maxine is a product of Hallmark Cards.
