A preacher, who was "humor impaired," attended a conference to help encourage
and better equip pastors for their ministry.
Among the speakers were many well known and dynamic speakers. One such boldly
approached the pulpit and, gathering the entire crowd's attention, said, "The
best years of my life were spent in the arms of a woman that wasn't my wife!"
The crowd was shocked!
He followed up by saying, "And that woman was my mother!" - The crowd burst into
laughter and delivered the rest of his talk, which went over quite well.
The next week, our pastor decided he'd give this humor thing a try, and use that
joke in his sermon. As he approached the pulpit that Sunday, he tried to
rehearse the joke in his head. It suddenly seemed a bit foggy to him.
Getting to the microphone he said loudly, "The greatest years of my life were
spent in the arms of a woman that was not my wife!"
The congregation inhaled in surprise. After standing there for almost 10 seconds
in the stunned silence, trying to recall the second half of the joke, the pastor
finally blurted out, "...and I can't remember who she was!

 不会讲笑话的牧师

一个牧师，特别不会讲笑话，去参加一个招待会想锻炼一下勇气并且最好能装备一些对自己职业有用的东西。
会上有很多出名的并且动感很强的演讲家。其中有一个大胆的走上讲台，集中了大家的注意力后说，“我最好的时光是在一个女人怀里渡过的，并非我的妻子！”
大家都怔住了！
他接着说道，“她是我的妈妈！”－大家的哄笑盖住了他随后说的话，他顺势结束了他的发言。
一周后，我们的牧师先生也想试讲一下这个有意思的话，就在布道时好了。星期天他走上布道台，想把那个幽默再回想一下，突然发现好像有点记不牢了。
到了麦克风前，他大声说道，“我最好的时光是在一个女人怀里渡过的，并非我的妻子！”
教众惊呆了。牧师先生在尴尬的沉静中站了差不多10秒钟，竭力回想幽默的后半段，最后只好放弃，“……我实在想不起来她是谁了！”
