A Minister was walking down the street when he came upon a group, all of them between 10 and 12 years of age.
The group had surrounded a dog.
The Minister was concerned the boys were hurting the dog, so he went over and asked "What are you doing with that dog?"
One replied, "This dog is just an old neighborhood stray. We all want him, but only one of us can take him home.
"So we've decided that whoever can tell the biggest lie will get to keep the dog."
The Preacher was shocked and said, "You boys shouldn't be having a contest telling lies!"
He then launched into a ten minute sermon against lying. It began with, "Don't you boys know it's a sin to lie," and ended with, "Why, when I was your age, I never told a lie."
There was dead silence for about a minute. The Minister thought he had gotten through to the youngsters.
Then the smallest boy shrugged and sighed saying, "All right, give him the dog."
It's Monday, Smile & Make It a Great Week!
