Head Hog

"Head Hog"*

*One day a man called the church office. He said,
"Can I speak to the head hog at the trough?"

The secretary thought she heard what he said,
but said, "I'm sorry, who?"

The caller repeated, "Can I speak to the head
hog at the trough?"

She said, "Well, if you mean the preacher, then
you may refer to him as 'Pastor,' or 'Brother,' but
I prefer that you not refer to him as the 'head hog
at the trough'!"

To this the man replied, "Well, I was planning on
giving $100,000 to the building fund...."

To this the secretary quickly responded "Hang on,
I think the big fat pig just walked in!"

"Dead Mule"*

*A preacher went to his church office on Monday morning and
discovered a dead mule in the church yard. He called the
police. Since there did not appear to be any foul play, the
police referred the preacher to the health department. They
said since there was no health threat that he should call the
sanitation department.

The sanitation manager said he could not pick up the mule
without authorization from the mayor.
  
Now the preacher knew the mayor and was not to eager to
call him. The mayor had a bad temper and was generally
hard to deal with, but the preacher called him anyway.

The mayor did not disappoint. He immediately began to rant
and rave at the pastor and finally said, "Why did you call
me anyway? Isn't it your job to bury the dead?"

The preacher paused for a brief moment and then replied;
"Yes, Mayor, it is my job to bury the dead, but I always
like to notify the next of kin first!"
