Fasting Pastor

A new member of a church is talking to the Pastor: "You have such a small congregation. How can they afford to pay you?" The Pastor said, "Well, I only earn $60 a week." The man is dumbfounded. "Pastor, how in the world can you get by on an amount that small?" "Well, I tell ya. If I wasn't such a religious man and didn't fast three days a week, I'd probably starve to death."
