A preacher......had a teenage son, and it was getting time the boy should give some thought to choosing a profession. Like many young men his age, the boy didnt really know what he wanted to do, and he didnt seem too concerned about it. One day, while the boy was away at school, his father decided to try an experiment. He went into the boys room and placed on his study table four objects... 1.. A Bible... ..? 2. A silver dollar.....? 3. A bottle of whiskey.....? 4. And a Playboy magazine.....? Ill just hide behind the door, the old preacher said to himself. When he comes home from school today, Ill see which object he picks up. If its the Bible, hes going to be a preacher like me, and what a blessing that would be! If he picks up the dollar, hes going to be a business man, and that would be okay, too. But if he picks up the bottle, hes going to be a no-good drunken bum, and Lord, what a shame that would be. And worst of all if he picks up that magazine hes going to be a skirt-chasing womaniser. The old man waited anxiously, and soon heard his sons foot-steps as he entered the house whistling and headed for his room. The boy tossed his books on the bed, and as he turned to leave the room he spotted the objects on the table. With curiosity in his eye, he walked over to inspect them. Finally, he picked up the Bible and placed it under his arm. He picked up the silver dollar and dropped into his pocket. He uncorked the bottle and took a big drink, while he admired this months centerfold. Lord have mercy, the old preacher disgustedly whispered. Hes going to run for parliament!!
