Four worms and a lesson to be learned. . .<\/p>\n
A minister decided that a visual demonstration would add emphasis to his Sunday sermon.<\/p>\n
Four worms were placed into four separate jars.<\/p>\n
The first worm was put into a container of alcohol.
\n The second worm was put into a container of cigarette smoke.
\n The third worm was put into a container of chocolate syrup.
\n The fourth worm was put into a container of good clean soil.<\/p>\n
At the conclusion of the sermon, the Minister reported the following results:
\nThe first worm in alcohol … Dead .
\nThe second worm in cigarette smoke … Dead .
\nThird worm in chocolate syrup …Dead .
\nFourth worm in good clean soil … Alive!<\/p>\n
So the Minister asked the congregation, “What did you learn from this demonstration?\u201d<\/p>\n
Maxine was sitting in the back, quickly raised her hand and said,<\/p>\n
“As long as you drink, smoke, and eat chocolate, you won’t have worms!\u201d<\/p>\n
