"The object of life is not happiness, but to serve God... If one understands this and drops his idiotic notion that the meaning of life is personal happiness, then one will be flooded with happiness..."
The Drunk in Church
A man sobering up from the night before was sitting through a Sunday morning sermon, finding it long and boring.
Still feeling hung over and tired, he finally nodded off.
The priest, who had been watching him all along, noticed his apparent hangover and was disgusted.
At the end of the sermon, the preacher decided to make an example of the man, so he said to his congregation, "All those wishing to have a place in heaven, please stand."
The whole room stood up except, of course, the sleeping man.
The whole room stood up except, of course, the sleeping man.
Then the preacher said even more loudly, "And all those who would like to find a place in hell please STAND UP!"
The weary man, catching only the last part of the question, groggily stood up only to find that he is the only one standing.
Confused and embarrassed he said, "I don't know what we're voting on here, Father, but it sure seems like you and me are the only ones standing for it!"
