Have you ever had one of those moments where you just can’t keep your eyes open no matter how hard you try? Well, let me tell you about a hilarious incident that happened to a couple at church.
The husband and wife were sitting side by side, listening to a lengthy speech in church. The woman, tired from the busy week, eventually succumbed to exhaustion and dozed off to sleep. It’s no wonder, church pews are not always the most comfortable seats!
As the wife peacefully slept, her devoted husband noticed her slumber and, being a caring spouse, tried to gently awaken her. He softly pressed her with his finger, hoping to rouse her from her deep sleep.
Just as the husband tried to wake his beloved wife, the priest had a surprise in store for the audience. He posed a question to the congregation, asking who had liberated the Israelites from slavery in Egypt.
In an instant, the woman jolted awake from her sleep, clearly startled by the unexpected question. With a groggy voice, she blurted out, “GOD!” before falling back into a slumber, completely unaware of what she had just said.
Undeterred, the priest continued with his sermon, asking another thought-provoking question. This time, he asked who had given their life for the forgiveness of sins. As if on cue, the wife woke up again, this time with confidence in her voice. She loudly proclaimed, “JESUS CHRIST!”
Throughout the sermon, the woman dozed off and on, slightly annoyed by her husband’s attempts to wake her up. It seemed that every time the priest posed a question, her husband would nudge her, trying to get her attention.
The priest, seemingly aware of the situation, decided to inject some humor into the sermon. He asked the crowd, “What did Eve say to Adam after they had their last child?”
In a moment of frustration, and still half-asleep, the wife snapped back at her husband, saying, “I swear to God, if you poke me with that thing one more time, I’m going to take it and snap it in half!” The congregation burst into laughter, as her response was unexpected and comically unrelated to the question.
