Not too long ago, a large seminar was held for ministers and reverends
> in training.
> Among the facilitators were many well-known motivational speakers. One
> such speaker boldly approached the pulpit and, gathering the entire
> crowd's attention, said, "The best years of my life were spent in the
arms
> of a woman who wasn't my wife!"
> The crowd was shocked!
> He followed up by saying, "That woman was my mother!"
> The crowd burst into laughter and he gave his speech, which was well
> received.
> About a week later, one of the ministers who had attended the seminar
> decided to use that joke in his sermon. As he shyly approached the
> pulpit one sunny Sunday, he tried to rehearse the joke in his head. It
> was a bit foggy to him. Getting to the microphone he said loudly, "The
> greatest years of my life were spent in the arms of a woman who was not my wife!"
> His congregation sat shocked, murmuring. After standing there for
> almost 10 seconds trying to recall the second half of the joke, the
> pastor finally blurted out "...and I can't remember who she was!"
> Moral of the story: Don't copy if you can't paste
