The Old Man in the Church
(English translation)
An old man attends church service on Sundays.
He always sits at the back of the church.
When the pastor starts preaching,
The old man makes noise and disturbs him.
If he agrees with the pastor, he stands up and says,
“Yes, sir; I view it that way too.”
But if he disagrees with the pastor, he stands up and says,
“No, sir; I don’t view it that way.”
He behaves this way in church every time.
The ushers have to tell him to be quite or leave.
