The Baptist Minister

Way down in the deep south, in an area known as the 'Bible Belt,' there lived a Baptist minister with a very large congregation. One morning, after a particularly moving sermon, he announced:

- Friends I have been hearing very nasty rumors!

The crowd fell into an expectant silence. The Minister continued:

- One of you, here among us, has been reporting that I am a member of the dreaded 'Klu Klux Klan.' This, of course, is not true! I am asking that the guilty party confess and apologize now - right here - before my flock of loyal followers.

A young woman quickly stood up blushing and trembling and pled:

- Preacher, please, I don't know how this all came to be. I just mentioned to one of my close friends that you were a wizard under the sheets.
