____________________________________________________________________________
The new preacher in town had for several days been visiting all the church's elderly members and especially those who were "shut-ins" in poor health. Blanche was the last person on his list.
Blanche was a kind old lady who had long ago lost all her teeth. She absolutely refused to get dentures and therefore had the sunken lips look of a very old person with no teeth. Her speech was affected by her lack of teeth. She was delighted to see the preacher.
"Oh, preachah! I'm tho happy to thee you!"
"Blanche, I'm glad I could come by."
The two sat on the couch and talked about the church and Blanche's health until the phone rang.
"O, preachah, I gotta go get that. Ith probably Hortenth. The callth me every day about thith time. I'll be back ath thoon ath I can."
"OK, Blanche. I'm not going anywhere."
The phone call seemed to drag on and on and the preacher felt a rumbling in his stomach. He saw a bowl of peanuts on the end table and knowing that Blanche would not mind, took a small handful. Then another handful. Then another. Suddenly, to his dismay, he realized that he had consumed the entire bowl of peanuts.
When Blanche came back into the room, the preacher apologized profusely, but Blanche was not concerned.
"Oh preachah, thath OK! I done thucked all the chocolate off of 'em anyway!"

This is a joke story: A new preacher visits an elderly church member and in her brief absence to answer a phone call eats all the peanuts from a bowl on a table. When the preacher apologizes for having eaten all the woman's peanuts she tells him not to be concerned because she had already sucked all the chocolate off the peanuts.
