The Moral of the Worms

A pastor takes four earthworms and places them in different jars at the start of the service.

Each jar contained something different: the first had alcohol, the second had cigarette butts and smoke, the third had all sorts of sweets, and the fourth had good, clean dirt. At the end of the service, the pastor pulls the jars back out. He removes the worm from the alcohol. "Dead!" exclaims the pastor. Next is the worm in the cigarette smoke. "Dead!" The worm in the sweets: "DEAD!" Finally, the worm in the dirt. "Look at this! He is alive!" The pastor asks, "Can anyone tell me what the moral of this story is?" Mrs. Jones, an elderly woman in the front row, stands up and exclaims, "If you drink, smoke, and eat nothing but candy, you won't get worms!"
