Had a call the other day from a woman whose pet poodle of 15 years had died. "I want to give it a lovely funeral, with a casket, flowers, and a full Christian burial", she said.
"What!" I shouted. "I am a respected Baptist minister and will not think of have a funeral and burial for some dead dog. What would the people in town think of me? What would the elders in my church say if they found out I was having a funeral for a stupid animal?"
"Well," she continued, "I was going to pay whoever did the funeral $500.00."
I sheepishly replied, "Well, why didn't you tell me it was a BAPTIST dog?"
