A vicar gave a really short sermon in just ten minutes one Sunday morning, which was about half the usual length that he spent talking when giving his sermons.
He explained the reason why he gave a short sermon to the congregation, “I regret to inform you that my dog, who is very fond of eating paper, ate that portion of my sermon which I was unable to deliver this morning, hence it was somewhat shorter than usual”.
After the service, a visitor from another church shook hands with the preacher and said, “Reverand, if that dog of yours has any puppies, I would love to have one so I could give it to my vicar”.
