Rumors

The Texas preacher rose to his feet, his face red and angry.

“Someone in this congregation has spread a rumor that I belong to the

Ku Klux Klan. This is a horrible lie and one which I, as a Christian

community leader, cannot tolerate. I want the party who did this to

stand and ask forgiveness from God and this Christian congregation.”

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.”

Again 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!”
