A Little Baptist Humor

No. GA. Mt. Man

Gone But Not Forgotten
I'M BAPTIST SO I GUESS I CAN TELL A BAPTIST JOKE SO HERE GOES:
There was once a small rural community, so small, in fact, the only church in
town is a small Baptist church whose pastor must also double up as the local
barber to make ends meet.

There happened to be a man in this small community who had invested wisely and
was enjoying his newfound comfort. This man got out of bed one day to go
through his daily routine. He looked into the mirror as he was about shave and
decided, "I make enough money now, I don't have to shave myself. I'll go down
to the barber and let him shave me from now on." So he did.

He walked into the barber shop and found the preacher/barber was out calling on
the shut-ins. His wife, Grace, said "I usually do the shaves anyway ... sit
down and I'll shave you." So he did.

She shaved him and he asked, "How much do I owe you?"

"$25," Grace replied. The man thought that was somewhat expensive and that he
may have to get a shave every other day. Nonetheless, he paid Grace and went on
his way.

The next day, he woke up and found his face to be just as smooth as the day
before. No need for a shave today, he thought, well, it was a $25 shave.

The next day he awoke to find his face as smooth as a baby's bottom. Wow! he
thought. That's amazing, as he normally would need to shave daily to keep his
clean-shaven business look.

Day 3, he woke up and his face was still as smooth as the minute after Grace had
finished. Now, somewhat perplexed, the man went down to the barber shop to ask
some questions.

This particular day the pastor was in and the man asked him why his face was as
smooth as it was the first day it was shaven.

The kind old pastor gently retorted, "Friend, you were shaved by Grace and once
shaved, always shaved."
