a visual demonstration .... statt "Wort zum Sonntag"

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 cho­co­la­te syrup.
• 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 cho­co­la­te syrup 

- Dead.

• Fourth worm in good clean soil 

- Ali­ve.

So the Mini­ster asked the congregation
"What can you learn from this demonstration?"

A litt­le old woman in the back quick­ly rai­sed her hand and said,
"As long as you drink, smo­ke and eat cho­co­la­te, you won't have worms!"

Don't we just love litt­le old ladies?
