Four worms and a lesson...

I remember my father when asked to quit smoking would always say he's not gonna quit because no one would come out in this life alive anyway. Then he would ask where we got the information that smoking is bad for the health. We say, we read about it from the books and he would snap back, "Then stop reading books!". Pretty stubborn, huh! He passed away at 65 which for me is an early age to die, isn't it? And he never stopped smoking until he died. Anyway, the joke below just reminded me of my dear father and about smoking. Read on....

A minister decided that a visual demonstration would add emphasis to his Sunday sermon.
Four worms were placed into four separate jars.
The first worm was put into a container of alcohol.
The second worm was put into a container of cigarette smoke.
The third worm was put into a container of chocolate syrup.
The fourth worm was put into a container of good clean soil.
At the conclusion of the sermon, the Minister reported the following results:
The first worm in alcohol - Dead.

The second worm in cigarette smoke - Dead Third worm in chocolate syrup - Dead Fourth worm in good clean soil - Alive.

So the Minister asked the congregation - What can you learn from this demonstration?

Maxine was sitting in the back, quickly raised her hand and said, 'As long as you drink, smoke and eat chocolate, you won't have worms!' That pretty much ended the service --
