Be sure your sins will find you out.

The preacher mounted the pulpit and fulminated against the evils of fornication.

" I knows", said the preacher, "that there is some folks in this congregation who, outside the bonds of holy wedlock, has been a-hein' and a-shein'. Them what's been a-hein' and a-shein' should fall on their knees and beg the Lord for mercy. Suddenly only 50% of the congregation were left standing.

"And I also knows", continued the preacher, "that there is some in this congregation what's been a-hein' and a-hein'. Them what's been a-hein' and a-hein' should also fall on their knees and beg forgiveness". At this point the number remaining standing was considerably depleted.

"And", he went on, " I even hears of them what's been a-shein' and a shein', and they too should beg for mercy".

At length the only one left standing was young Amos. The preacher turned to him and said, "Amos, is it that you is the only pure soul in my flock?"

Amos replied, "Guess so, Reverend, 'cos you aint said nuthin' about a-mein' and a-mein'"

A-hein and a-shein = a man and a woman a-hein and a- hein - a man and a man and so on

Thank you chelle, I didn't really want to have to explain it, although it tells much better when spoken aloud.

[chelle7272]

Sorry Plautus i knwo an explanation takes away from it a bit. Thnsk for posting it :-)

If you mean shagging, why don't you just say shagging?

[chelle7272]

omg my typing was awful^^^ shouldn't try to type when I'm eating...

cupid if it said that the joke wouldn't make any sense?

[plautus]

It is the use of terminology which reveals itself in the last line. Had I used the terms "shagging", "bumming", "drinking from the furry cup" and "w@nking", there would have been no joke. I think I'll take a powder!

[cupid04]

Sorry, I will do ten hail mary's for ruining your joke.
