Over Endulgence And The Results Of Sin

[marshbags]

An evangelical preacher, determined to offer a graphic representation of the results of Sin, conducted an experiment in front of his congregation.

He had containers filled with alcohol, cigarette smoke and chocolate, and put a live worm in each.

"Next Sunday," he told his congregation, "we shall see the results of this experiment in over-indulgence and the wages of sin ...."

The following Sunday from the pulpit he emptied each of the containers in turn, and three dead worms fell to the floor of the church one after the other.

"Now," the preacher boomed at the congregation, "would anyone like to tell me the moral of this little experiment?"

The congregation remained silent until a little girl from the front responded: "I think I know, reverend."

The preacher smiled. "Go ahead, my dear."

"Is it ... is it ... that if you smoke cigarettes, drink whisky and eat a lot of chocolate, you won't get worms?"
