A minister decided that a visual demonstration would add emphasis to his Sunday sermon. He placed four worms into four separate jars.

He put the first worm into a container of alcohol.

He put the second worm into a container of cigarette smoke.

He put the third worm into a container of chocolate syrup.

He put the fourth worm into a container of good clean soil.

At the conclusion of the sermon, the Minister reported the following results:

The first worm in alcohol -- Dead.

The second worm in cigarette smoke -- Dead

The third worm in chocolate syrup -- Dead

The fourth worm in good clean soil -- Alive and well.

So the Minister asked the congregation, "What did you learn from this demonstration?"

Maxine, sitting in the back, quickly raised her hand and said, "As long as you drink, smoke and eat chocolate, you won't have worms!"
