A preacher of the old school was describing the events of
Judgment Day and, of course, he used Biblical phraseology
whenever he could.
“Oh, my friends,” he intoned, “imagine the suffering of the
sinners as they find themselves cast into the outer darkness,
removed from the presence of the Lord and given to eternal
flames. My friends, at such a time there will be weeping,
wailing and a great gnashing of teeth!”
At this point, one of the elders of the congregation inter-
rupted to say, “But Reverend, what if one of those hopeless
sinners has no teeth?”
The preacher crashed his fist on the pulpit, “My friends,
the Lord is not put out by details. Rest assured…teeth
will be provided!”
