Does it translate?

Four worms and a lesson to be learned!!!!

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

Four worms were placed into four separate jars.

The first worm was put into a container of alcohol.

The second worm was put into a container of cigarette smoke.

The third worm was put into a container of chocolates.

The fourth worm was put into a container 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.

Third worm in chocolates
Dead.

Fourth worm in good clean soil
Alive.

So the Minister asked the congregation,

”What did you learn from this demonstration?”

Maxine was sitting in the back, quickly raised her hand and said,

”As long as you drink, smoke and eat chocolate, you won't have worms!”


Last time I blogged I think I mentioned something about jokes not translating. I can understand where third grade jokes don't translate because they really aren't meant to be funny (to adults). But this is funny. Or is it? One of my girlfriends sent it because there is an outbreak of ringworm in her seventh grade class. Eeew. In that context the joke becomes a little funnier.
