Trade for Lawn Mower

A preacher was making his rounds to his parishoners on a
bicycle, when he came upon a little boy trying to sell a lawn
mower.


"How much do you want for the mower?" asked the preacher.


"I'm just trying to make enough money to buy a bicycle," said
the little boy.


After a moment of consideration, the preacher asked, "Will you
take my bike in trade for it?"


The boy said, "You got a deal."


The preacher took the mower and tried to crank it. He pulled on
the string a few times with no response from the mower.


The preacher called the little boy over and said, "I can't get
this mower to start."


The little boy said, "That's 'cause you have to cuss at it to
get it started."


The preacher said, "I'm a minister, and I can't cuss. It's been
so long since I've been saved that I don't know if I even
remember how to cuss."


The little boy looked at him happily and said, "Just keep
pulling on that string. It'll come back to ya!"
