Way to go Pastor !!
A pastor, really needing to go to the bathroom,
walked into a
neighborhood pub. The place was hopping with music and
dancing but
every
once in a while the lights would turn off. Each time
after the
lights would go out the place would erupt into
cheers.
However, when the revelers saw the town pastor, the
room went dead
silent.
He walked up to the bartender, and asked, "May I
please use the
restroom?"
The bartender replied, "I really don't think you
should."
"Why not?" the pastor asked.
"Well, there is a statue of a naked woman in there,
and her most
private part is covered only by a fig leaf."
"Nonsense," said the pastor, "I'll just look the
other way."
So the bartender showed the clergyman the door at the
top of the
stairs, and he proceeded to the restroom.
After a few minutes, he came back out, and the whole
place was
hopping with music and dancing again. However, they
did stop just long
enough
to give the pastor a loud round of applause.
He went to the bartender and said, "Sir, I don't
understand. Why did
they applaud for me just because I went to the
restroom?"
"Well, now they know you're one of us." said the
bartender. "Would
you like a drink?"
"But, I still don't understand," said the puzzled
pastor.
"You see," laughed the bartender, "every time the fig
leaf is lifted
on the statue, the lights go out in the whole place.
Now, how about that drink?"
