The Baptist Way

"The Baptist Way"

The lady was a Southern Baptist who attended services
and taught Sunday School every week. On one Sunday
an out of town acquaintance, a gentleman, was in the
pew right behind her. He noted what a fine looking
woman she was. While they were taking up the
collection, the man leaned forward and said, "Hey, how
about you and I having dinner on Tuesday?"

"Why Yes, that would be nice," the lady responded.

Well, the gentleman couldn't believe his luck. On Tuesday
he picked the lady up and took her to the finest restaurant
in that part of South Carolina. When they sat down, the
gentleman looked over at her and suggested, "Would
you like a cocktail before dinner?"

"Oh, no," said our circumspect fine example of southern
womanhood, "Whatever would I tell my Sunday School
class?"

Well, our gentleman was setback a bit, so he didn't say
much until after dinner. When he pulled out a pack of
cigarettes and asked, "Would you like a smoke?"

"Oh my, goodness no," said the woman "I couldn't face
my Sunday School class if I did?"

Well, our boy felt pretty low after that, so they left, got in his
car and as he was driving the lady home, they passed the
local Holiday Inn. He'd been morally rebuffed twice already,
so he figured he had nothing to lose so he ventured forth
with, "Ahhh ... mmmm how would you like to stop at this
motel?"

"Sure, that would be nice," she said with anticipation. The
gentleman couldn't believe his ears, and did a fast U- turn
right then and there and drove back to the motel and
checked in.

The next morning, after a wild and passionate night, the
gentleman awoke first. He looked at the lovely Dixie
darling lying there in the bed and with remorse thought,
"What the heck have I done?"

He shook her awake and pleaded, "I've got to ask you
one thing, whatever are you going to tell your Sunday
School class?"

The lady said, "The same thing I always tell them. "You
don't have to smoke and drink to have a good time!!!"
