Preacher problems

The entire congregation came out to hear the preacher's first sermon. It lasted eight minutes. The next Sunday the preacher's sermon was forty-five minutes. His third sermon was two and a half hours.

The pulpit committee called the preacher in and said, "What is happening here?"

The preacher replied, "Well, on the first Sunday I had just had all of my teeth pulled. My mouth was sore, so my sermon was short. The next week, I had my new dentures and I was feeling fine."

The committee leader said, "But your third sermon was two and a half hours long!"

"Oh, yes," the preacher responded. "The third week, I picked up my wife's dentures by mistake."
