A minister decided that a visual demonstration would add emphasis to his Sunday sermon.

Why not use some props? So four worms were placed into four separate jars.

××The first worm was put into a jar of alcohol, pure vodka.

××The second worm was put into a jar filled with cigarette smoke.

××The third worm was put into a jar of chocolate syrup.

××And the fourth worm was put into a jar of good clean soil.

At the conclusion of the sermon, the minister reported the following results:

××The first worm in alcohol -dead.

××The second worm in cigarette smoke - dead.

××The third worm in chocolate syrup - dead.

××And the fourth worm in good clean soil - alive.

So the minister asked the congregation, "What can you learn from this demonstration?"

A parishioner in the back quickly raised her hand and said, “That’s an easy one, pastor. From your demonstration it’s perfectly clear.

There’s no chance you’ll get worms, as long as you drink vodka, smoke cigarettes, and eat chocolate!”
