the preacher determined he would teach him not to sleep during the sermon. So
in a whisper
he asked the congregation. "All who want to go to heaven
please rise." Everyone got up except the snorer. After whispering "Be seated"
the minister shouted at the top of his voiced
"All those who want to be with the devil
please rise."Awaking with a start
the sleepy-head jumped to his feet and saw the preacher standing tall and angry in the pulpit（講道壇）
"Well
sir
" he said
"I don't know what we're voting on
but it looks like you and me are the only ones for it."牧師非常生氣，因為總有壹個人在他說教時打瞌睡。壹個星期天，正當坐在前排的那個人又在瞌睡時，牧師決定要好好教育他壹下，讓他不要再在布道時睡覺。於是他低聲對信徒們說：“想去天堂的人，都請站起來吧。”所有的人都站了起來——當然，除了那個打瞌睡的人。在低聲說過請坐後，牧師高聲喊道：“想去下地獄的人請站起來！”打瞌睡的人被這突然的喊叫聲驚醒了，他站了起來。看到牧師高站在教壇上，正生氣的看著他。這個人說道：“噢，先生，我不知道我們在選什麽，但看上去只有妳和我是候選人。”
