Heavenly bodies?



My hobby is Smart Outdoors, LLC.
The Blonde, the Preacher and the Ku Klux Clan
The Alabama preacher said to his congregation, "Someone in this congregation
has spread a rumor that I belong to the Ku Klux Klan. This is a horrible lie
and one which a Christian community cannot tolerate. I am embarrassed and do
not intend to accept this. Now, I want the party who did this to stand and
ask forgiveness from God and this Christian Family."
No one moved. The preacher continued, "Do you have the nerve to face me and
admit this is a falsehood? Remember, you will be forgiven and in your heart
you will feel glory. Now stand and confess your transgression." A gain all
was quiet.
Then slowly, a drop-dead gorgeous blonde with a body that would stop traffic
rose from the third pew. Her head was bowed and her voice quivered as she
spoke, "Reverend there has been a terrible misunderstanding. I never said
you were a member of the Ku Klux Klan. I simply told a couple of my friends
that you were a wizard under the sheets."

THE PREACHER STOOD IN FRONT OF THE CONGREGATION AND EXPRESSED HIS SORROW THAT HE WOULD HAVE TO LEAVE.
HE WENT ON TO EXPLAIN THAT THE LITTLE CHURCH HAD BEEN BEYOND WONDERFUL TO HIS FAMILY SINCE HE HAD GRADUATED FROM THE SEMINARY BUT THAT WHILE THE CHURCH HAS TRIED TO DO RIGHT THAT TO BE FAIR TO HIS FAMILY HE NEEDED TO MOVE ON TO A LARGER CONGREGATION.
SIGHS AND GROANS FILLED THE ROOM.
IN THE SECOND PEW A MAN STOOD AND SAID THAT HE WAS THE BEST PREACHER THEY HAD EVER HAD AND HE REFUSED TO LET HIM GO.
"I OWN A NEW CAR DEALERSHIP AND WILL GIVE YOU AND YOUR WIFE A NEW CAR EVERY YEAR AND PAY ALL GAS AND INSURANCE. FURTHER WHEN HIS KIDS WERE OLD ENOUGH HE WOULD GIVE THEM NEW CARS TOO." HE THEN ENCOURAGED OTHERS IN THE GROUP TO DO THEIR PART.
THE CROWD CHEERED LOUDLY.
ANOTHER STOOD AND THANKED THE PREACHER AND VOWED HE WOULD DOUBLE HIS PAY AND SET ASIDE MONEY FOR RETIREMENT AND HIS KIDS COLLEGE. HE ALSO ENCOURAGED OTHERS TO DO THEIR PART.
THE CHEERS WERE EVEN LOUDER.
THEN AN ELDERLY WOMEN IN THE BACK ROW SHOUTED AND I'LL GIVE YOU ALL THE SEX YOU WANT.
THE GASPS ECHOED THROUGH THE ROOM.
THE PREACHER FINALLY ASKED SISTER SALLY WHAT WOULD MAKE YOU SAY SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
SHE SAID SHE ASKED HER HUSBAND WHAT THEY COULD DO TO HELP AND HE HAD REPLIED AWE SCREW THE PREACHER.
