A new preacher was invited to attend the Lions Club as a guest. He wanted to become a member but was told they already had their quota of members. Later they discovered they had no hog caller in the club and invited him to join under that category.

The roof of a certain church was in need of repair, but the leading elder could not be convinced that such was the case. At a meeting convened to consider the matter a lump of rain soaked plaster fell on the elder's head. When he recovered from the shock, he rose and said:

Upon which the minister closed his eyes and prayed fervently: "Oh Lord, hit him again!"
