Visiting Clergyman—“What’s a miracle?”

Boy—“Dunno.”

V.C.—“Well, if the sun was to shine in the middle of the night what would you say it was?”

Boy—“The moon.”

V.C.—“But if you were told that it was the sun, what would you say it was?”

Boy—“A lie.”

V.C.—“I don’t tell lies. Suppose I were to tell you it was the sun, what would you say then?”

Boy—“That you was drunk.”
