Preachers Son

[wildcat66]

An old country preacher had a teenage son, and it was
getting time the boy should give some thought to choosing a
profession. Like many young men his age, the boy didn't
really know what he wanted to do, and he didn't seem too
concerned about it.
One day, while the boy was away at school, his
father decided to try an experiment. He went into the
boy's room and placed on his study table four objects.
1. A Bible.
2. A silver dollar.
3. A bottle of whisky.
4. A Playboy magazine.

"I'll just hide behind the door,"
the old preacher said to himself. "When he comes home
from school today, I'll see which object he picks up. If
it's the Bible, he's going to be a preacher like me,
and what a blessing that would be! If he picks up the
dollar, he's going to be a business man, and that would
be okay, too. But if he picks up the bottle, he's going
to be a no-good drunken bum, and Lord, what a shame that
would be. And worst of all if he picks up that magazine
he's going to be a skirt-chasing womanizer."

The old man waited anxiously, and soon heard his
son's foot- steps as he entered the house whistling and
headed for his room. The boy tossed his books on the bed,
and as he turned to leave the room he spotted the objects on
the table. With curiosity in his eye, he walked over to
inspect them. Finally, he picked up the Bible and placed it
under his arm. He picked up the silver dollar and dropped
into his pocket. He uncorked the bottle and took a big
drink, while he admired this month's centerfold.
"Lord have mercy," the old preacher
disgustedly whispered. "He's gonna run for
Congress."
