Joke

A young new preacher arrived in a small rural area. His first request as a preacher was to perform a service for a homeless man who was to be buried in a new, small cemetary even further in the country than the little village. He followed the directions to the best of his ability but got lost. He circled back and tried again and finally came on where the backhoe was idle and the crew was taking a break, about an hour late. He looked into the grave and saw that the vault had already been sealed but said some words over the grave, it being the least he could do. As he preached, the men began to say, "Amen." He preached more and the crew really began to get into it. The preacher poured everything he had into that sermon for that poor unfortunate man. The preacher said they could finish, now, and thanked them for waiting and being so supportive of his sermon. As he was getting back into his car, he heard one man say, "I ain't never seen anything like that, and I been puttin' in septic tanks all my life."
