Heading Down under

When a pastor asked a lady if she was planning a trip down under she hesitated: Yes, I am, she said nervously. It’s my first trip to Australia if that’s what you mean at least that’s what I hope. Yes, that’s exactly what I meant he reassured. By-the-way, I’m a pastor. I thought you looked familiar she said eagerly. And though I’m not a congregant of your church, sir, I have read a few of your sermons – and I find them quite radical given my little knowledge of biblical Christianity. “Really?” said the pastor as the plane began its descent. Perhaps we’ll meet again somewhere in down under, who knows he said. Yes, who knows, she said. But don't look too hard for me; by saying down under I didn’t mean Australia.
