There was this guy, Herman, who always fell asleep in church.
Finally, one Sunday before church his wife, Ethel, said, "If
you fall asleep in church today, I'm going to stab you in the
leg with my hat pin!".  Sure enough, not long after the
preacher's sermon began, Herman started falling asleep.  Just
as the preacher said, "... and who made the world?", Ethel
stabbed Herman in the leg and he yelled out, "GOD ALMIGHTY!!".
The preacher said "Correct sir." A little while later Herman
started fading out again.  Just as the preacher asked, "Who
died for man?" Ethel stabbed Herman in the leg and he screamed,
"JESUS CHRIST!".  The preacher, pointing in Herman's general
direction, cried out, "You are RIGHT sir".  As Herman started to
fall asleep the preacher asked, "What did Eve say to Adam on
their 42nd baby?", out came the lethal hat pin.  Herman woke up,
yelled at Ethel, "If you poke me with that thing one more time,
I'm going to break it off!" and the preacher exclaimed, "You're
right again sir!".
