The Church Member and the Ram

Ward Ice, Chief of Police, of Weirton, West Virginia, informs us that his grandfather was a great church member. One Sunday morning the man of righteousness returned from services at the little log church. he was full of the Sabbath spirit of piety. he went out into the barnyard and there he saw a commotion among sheep. The animals had stirred up a hornets' nest and the hornets were chasing them.

Those hornets were hot after the old buck ram, and one particularly big and ferocious insect landed on the ram's hind quarters and inflicted a powerful sting. Grandpa heard that ram clearly and distinctly. He heard it say DAMN!

The profanity, especially on the Sabbath, so shocked the pious church member, that he instantly told his wife - Ma, I guess I'll be butcherin' the old ram tomorrow.
