From The Back...
> A Vicar's wife was expecting a baby, so he stood before the Bishop and asked for arise in his wages.
> After much discussion, he passed a rule that whenever the Vicar's family expanded; so would his pay-packet..
>
> After 6 children, this started to get expensive and the Bishop & congregation decided to hold another meeting to discuss the Vicar's expanding salary.
A great deal of yelling and inner bickering ensued, as to how much the Vicar's additional children were costing the church, and how much more it could potentially cost.
After listening to them for about an hour, the Vicar rose from his chair and spoke,... "Children are a gift from God, and we will take as many gifts as He gives us."
Silence fell over the congregation.
In the back pew, a little old lady struggled to stand, and finally said in her frail voice, Rain is also a gift from God, but when we get too much of it, we wear rubbers."
The Bishop & the entire congregation said, "AMEN"."
