Not too long ago a large seminar was held for ministers in
training.
Among the speakers were many well known motivational speakers.
One such boldly approached the podium and, gathering the en-
tire crowd’s attention said, “The best years of my life were
spent in the arms of a woman who wasn’t my wife.”
The crowd was shocked! He followed up by saying, “And that
woman was my mother.” The crowed burst into laugher and he
gave his speech which went over well.
About a week later, one of the ministers who had attended the
seminar decided to use that joke in his sermon. As he shyly
approached the pulpit one sunny Sunday, he tried to rehearse
the joke in his head. It was a bit foggy for him.
Getting to the microphone he said loudly, “The greatest
years in my life were spent in the arms of a woman who was
not my wife!”
His congregation gasped. After standing there for almost 10
seconds trying to remember the second half of the joke, the
pastor finally blurted out, “…and I can’t remember who she
was!”
