The Sermon

In the town of Burncorn, Alabama there was a Baptist and a Methodist minister. Since this was a small town they took to riding their bikes back and forth between home, church and visiting sites.
Well one day the Methodist minister passed the Baptist minister walking.

"Why Brother Baptist, why are you walking today?" the Methodist minister asked.
"Well Brother Methodist, it seems the worst had happened," he said. He continued, "One of my congregation has absconded with my bike and I don't know what to do."
"I know just the cure!" the Methodist minister cried. "Instead of your planned sermon this weekend, give a fire and brimstone sermon on the ten commandments. When you get to the part about thou shall not steal, lay into it heavy. The thief will feel guilty and return your bike."
"Sounds like a great plan Brother Methodist," and off he went to plan the weekend sermon.

The next week Brother Methodist was riding down the road when he passed Brother Baptist riding his bike down the road.
"Well I see that the sermon idea must have worked," he said.
"Well, sort of," the Baptist Minister replied sheepishly, "Sunday, I was giving the sermon as you recommended, but when I got to the part about thou shall not commit adultery, I suddenly remembered where I left my bike!"
