A vicar was retiring after 25 years in the parish. As he came to clear out his bedroom, he found a small bowl with 5 eggs and £1,000 in it. Baffled he called his wife, "Darling, what is this little basket under the bed with five eggs and £1,000 in it?"
"Oh," she said "I must confess that everytime you preach a bad sermon I put an egg in the basket." Secretly the vicar was pleased. "Not bad five bad sermons in 25 years" he thought. "And what about the £1,000?"
"Well every time I get a dozen, I sell them!"
