One Sunday morning a Merriam knocked on Billy's bedroom door


"It's time to get up and go to church," she said.


"I'm not going to church this morning," Billy replied.


"You gotta get up and go to church."


"No, I can't!"


"Yes you can!"


"No, they don't like me and I don't like them. Just give me
two good reasons why I need to go," Billy stated emphatically.

"Number one," replied Merriam, "You're a mature 55 years old
and number two, you're the pastor!"
