While You Been Off Makin Sugar, You Main Squeeze Been Off Making Maple Syrup

Deacon Francis had been running a chapel in Botuawanland Africa for several years. One day a very aggravated native approached Francis and confronted him. With his sobbing wife in tow, the native pointed to the fair skinned baby she was carrying and shouted for an explanation from Deacon Francis, saying, "I got 13 chillen, and not one of them are pinkish like dis one!"

Just then, Francis saw a scraggly herd of goats crossing the road nearby. Francis gently told the native; "my son, God works in mysterious ways, look at that group of goats, and tell me how is happens that all are white except that the one younger one is black."

The native thought for a moment, then said. "ok, fair enough. I'll let you off the hook this time, but you gotta promise not to tell anybody about me and the goats."
