An Old Man….

 

 An Old Country Preacher Had A Teenage Son,

And it Was Getting High Time The Boy Gave

 Some Thought To Choosing A Profession. 

Like Many Young Men His Age,

The Boy Didn't Really Know What He Wanted To Do,

 And He Didn't Seem Too Concerned About it.

One Day, While The Boy Was Away At School,

His Father Decided To Try An Experiment.

He Went into The Boy's Room And Placed

On His Study Table Four Objects :

1. A Bible,

{ 2.}  A Silver Dollar,

{ 3. } A Bottle Of Whiskey,

{ 4.} And A Playboy Magazine.

" I'll Just Hide Behind The Door,

" The Old Preacher Said To Himself,

" And When He Comes Home From School,

I'll See Which Object He Picks Up.

 If it's The Bible, He's Going To Be A Preacher Like Me,

And What A Blessing That Would Be !

 If He Picks Up The Dollar,

He's Going To Be A Business Man,

And That Would Be Okay,

Too. But if He Picks Up The Bottle,

He's Going To Be A No-Good Drunken Bum,

And Lord, What A Shame That Would Be.

And Worst Of All, if He Picks Up That Magazine,

He's Going To Be A Skirt-Chasing Womanizer."
The Old Man Waited Anxiously And Soon Heard

His Son's Footsteps As He Entered The House

Whistling And Headed For His Room.

The Boy Tossed His Books On The Bed,

And As He Turned To Leave The Room,

He Spotted The Objects On The Table.

He Walked Over To inspect Them,

Looking At Each For Several Minutes.

Finally, He Picked Up The Bible

And Placed it Under His Arm.

He Picked Up The Silver Dollar And Dropped into His Pocket.

He Uncorked The Bottle And Took A Big Drink,

While He Admired This Month's Centerfold. 
" Lord Have Mercy ! 

" The Old Preacher Prayed.    

"He's Going into Politics !! "
