Two parsons were having lunch at a farm during the progress of anniversary celebrations connected with the Nonconformist church. The farmer's wife cooked a couple of chickens, saying that the family could dine on the remains after the visitors had gone. But the hungry parsons wolfed the chickens bare.

“Seems mighty proud of himself,” said one of the guests.

“No wonder,” growled the farmer, “he's got two sons in the ministry.”
