A paraphrasing of a old joke.
A traveling minister is giving a sermon one Sunday morning to a small congregation on his route when he opens up by saying how much he loves preaching at this church.
“Of the four towns I cover you are the most chaste and of keeping God’s laws. Why the town I was at last week is deep in Satan's grasp. They are so sinful that the woman folk use leather to make a garment to wear around their waist that holds a small gourd to lay with their men folk in a carnal way. AND the men folk say the love it.”
“Thank our dear lord that you are a pious and humble people not tempted in to evil one’s nefarious ways”
4 weeks later he is riding into the same town when he is stopped one of the church elders.
“Thanks a lot pastor” he says in a indigent tone.
The pastor, surprised at this unwelcoming greeting, inquires what could prompt such a rude reception.
“Thanks to your sermon last month there has been a run on cow hide and the price of gourds has gone sky high!”
