A Sad Little Moment

Years ago I watched a documentary about an itinerant American preacher who seemed to make his money by filling in at small town churches when the regular minister was away on holidays. He was training his two sons - one a teenager and the other about ten years old - to follow in his footsteps.

The older boy was losing interest in religion so the father was concentrating his efforts on the ten year old and had actually arranged to have the boy ordained as a minister! As they drove to the church where the ceremony was to take place the father asked the ten year old, 

"Are you excited about getting ordained son?"

"Ooo yeah," said the boy...

And then, quizzically, "What's 'ordained' again dad?"
