KNOWLEDGE is knowing a tomato is a fruit; WISDOM is not putting it in a fruit salad!
A North Carolina preacher said to his congregation, "Someone in this congregation has
spread a rumor that I belong to the Ku Klux Klan. This is a horrible lie and one which a
Christian community cannot tolerate. I am offended and do not intend to accept this. Now, I want
the party who did this to stand and ask forgiveness from God and this Christian Family."
No one moved.
The preacher continued, "Do you have the nerve to face me and admit this is a falsehood?
Remember, you will be forgiven and in your heart you will feel glory. Now stand and confess your
transgression."
Again all was quiet.
Then slowly, a drop-dead gorgeous blonde with a body that would stop traffic rose from the third
pew. Her head was bowed and her voice quivered as she spoke, "Reverend there has been a terrible
misunderstanding. I never said you were a member of the Ku Klux Klan. I simply told a couple of
my friends that you were a wizard under the sheets."
The preacher fell to his knees, his wife fainted, and the congregation roared.
KNOWLEDGE is knowing a tomato is a fruit; WISDOM is not putting it in a fruit salad.
