Yorkshire Humour 7

a Pastor upon reading his sermon
was unconcerned when some of his flock
began to look at their watches
but grew a little more apprehensive
when removing them to shake violently
to see if they were still working.

Violence in churches... never a good idea harry, not in the world of coventional reason.. violence endorsed by relegion now that seems to be rather different.. Matter. Enjoyed the fun aspect:)
