Gimme That Old Time Religion
A couple had two little boys, ages 8 and 10, who were excessively
mischievous.
They were always getting into trouble and their parents knew
that, if any mischief occurred in their town, their sons were
probably involved.
The boys' mother heard that a clergyman in town had been successful
in disciplining children, so she asked if he would speak with
her boys. The clergyman agreed, but asked to see them individually.
So the mother sent her 8-year-old first, in the morning, with
the older boy to see the clergyman in the afternoon.
The clergyman, a huge man with a booming voice, sat the younger
boy down and asked him sternly, "Where is God?"
The boy's mouth dropped open, but he made no response, sitting
there with his mouth hanging open, wide-eyed.
So the clergyman repeated the question in an even sterner tone,
"Where is God!!?"
Again the boy made no attempt to answer.
So the clergyman raised his voice even more and shook his finger
in the boy's face and bellowed, "WHERE IS GOD!?"
The boy screamed and bolted from the room, ran directly home
and dove into his closet, slamming the door behind him.
When his older brother found him in the closet, he asked, "What
happened?"
The younger brother, gasping for breath, replied "We are
in BIG trouble this time, dude. God is missing - and they think
WE did it!"
