Are You Perfect?
Published Oct 04, 2002
A preacher was really hitting his stride one Sunday, delivering a sermon on sin. "Is there anyone here who is without SIN?" he shouted, glowering at the congregation.
Embarrassed parishioners stirred nervously in their seats, but no one stood.
Feeling he really had them this time, the preacher said, "Is there anyone here who thinks he or she is PERFECT?"
One small man, seated next to a rather imposing woman, rose nervously to his feet.
"So, Brother Jones, you think YOU are PERFECT?"
Cowed, the man replied, "No, Reverend, I'm just standing for my wife's first husband."
