Three pastors

三個牧師的故事

Three pastors in the south were having lunch in a diner. One said, You know, since summer started I've been having trouble with bats in my loft and attic at church. I've tried everything—noise, spray, cats—nothing seems to scare them away. Another said, Yes, me too. I've got hundreds living in my belfry and in the attic. I've been had the place fumigated, and they still won't go away. The third said, I baptized all mine, and made them members of the church...haven't seen one back since!

三個南部的牧師在一家小餐館里吃午飯。其中的一個說道：“你們知道嗎，自從夏天來臨，我的教堂的閣樓和頂樓就被蝙蝠騷擾，我用盡了一切辦法——噪音、噴霧、貓——似乎什么都不能把它們趕走。” 另外一位說：“是啊，我也是。在我的鐘樓和閣樓也有好幾百只。我曾經請人把整個地方用煙熏消毒一遍，它們還是趕不走。” 第三個牧師說：“我為我那里的所有蝙蝠洗禮，讓它們成為教會的一員……從此一只也沒有再回來過。”
