Pickin’ one’s sins.
Two elderly, excited Southern women were sitting together in the front pew at church listening to a fiery preacher.
When this preacher condemned the sin of stealing, thesetwo ladies cried out at the tops of their lungs, “AMEN, BROTHER!”
When thepreacher condemned the sin of lust, they yelled again, “PREACH IT, REVEREND!”
And when the preacher condemned the sin of lying, they jumped to theirfeet and screamed, “RIGHT ON, BROTHER! TELL IT LIKE IT IS . . . AMEN!”
But when the preacher condemned the sin of gossip, the two got very quiet. One turned to the other and said, “He’s quit preachin’ and now he’smeddlin’.”
