A Preacher's Topic

　　A preacher was asked to give a talk at a local women's health symposium. His wife asked about his topic, but he was too embarrassed to admit that he had been asked to speak about sex. Thinking quickly, he replied, "I'm talking about sailing."

　　"Oh, that's nice," said his wife.

　　The next day, at the grocery store, a young woman who had attended the lecture recognized the minister's wife. "That was certainly an excellent talk your husband gave yesterday, " she said. "He really has a unique perspective on the subject." Somewhat chagrined, the minister' s wife replied, "Gee, funny you should think so. I mean, he's only done it twice. The first time he threw up, and the second time, his hat blew off."

傳教士的講題

　　一位傳教士應邀在當地的婦女健康專題研討會上作報告。他的妻子問及他的講題，他要是供認他應邀講性知識的話，他會無地自容的。他飛快地思索，回答說：“我要講關于航海的知識。”
