I got this joke from a reader today....

   ....and I had to share it with you.

     Occupation:
     An old southern country preacher had a teenage son, and it was
     getting time the boy should give some thought to choosing a
     profession.
     Like many young men, the boy didn't really know what he wanted to
     do,
     and he didn't seem too concerned about it.
     One day while the boy was away at school, his father decided to
     try an experiment. He went into the boy's room and place on his
     study table, four objects:
     - a Bible
     - a Silver Dollar
     - a bottle of whiskey, and
     - a Playboy magazine
     "I'll just hide behind the door," the old preacher said to himself,
     "when he comes home from school this afternoon, I'll see
     which object gets his attention, then I'll know some about
     his future."
     The Bible - He'll probably be a preacher like myself.
     The Dollar - A business man.
     The Whiskey - A Drunkard
     The Playboy - A skirt-chasing Bum
     The old man waited anxiously, and soon heard his son's
     footsteps as he entered the house whistling and headed
     for his room. The boy tossed his books on the bed, and
     as he turned to leave the room spotted the objects on the
     table. With curiosity in his eye, he walked over to inspect them.
     Finally, he picked up the Bible and placed it under his arm.
     He picked up the silver dollar and dropped it in his pocket.
     He uncorked the bottle and took a big drink while he
     admired this month's centerfold.
     "LORD have mercy," the old preacher whispered to
     himself,,,, "He's gonna be a Congressman!"

   Heh.
