Our church has hard wooden pews, so it was good news when Rev. Watkins announced, "The Ladies Fellowship will refurbish the pews with cushions." Then he chuckled, "Now, my sermons can be thirty minutes long."

After the service, the organist gave Rev. Watkins a check to help defray the costs of the cushions--but not before adding, "Just in case you weren't joking about the thirty-minute sermons, could you please have the organ bench cushioned, too?"
