Robin’s 2¢
A minister goes to a dentist for a set of false teeth.
The first Sunday after he gets his teeth he talks for only eight minutes.
The second Sunday he talks for only 10 minutes
The following Sunday he talks for two hours and 48 minutes.
The congregation had to mob him and get him down from the pulpit and asked him what happened.
The minister explained the first two Sundays his mouth was sore from his new dentures.
But the third Sunday by mistake he put in his wife’s teeth and he couldn’t shut up.
