Κ A pastor concluded that his church was getting into very serious ΚΚΚΚ Financial troubles. While checking the church storeroom, he ΚΚΚΚ discovered several cartons of new Bibles that had never been opened ΚΚΚΚ and distributed.

ΚΚΚΚ So at his Sunday sermon, he asked for three volunteers from the ΚΚΚΚ congregration who would be willing to sell the Bibles door-to-door ΚΚΚΚ for $10 each to raise the desperately needed money for the church.

ΚΚΚΚ Jack, Paul and Louie all raised their hands to volunteer for the task.

ΚΚΚΚ The minister knew that Jack and Paul earned their living as salesmen ΚΚΚΚ and were likely capable of selling some Bibles

ΚΚΚΚΚ But he had serious doubts about Louie who was a local farmer, who ΚΚΚΚ had always kept to himself because he was embarrassed by his speech ΚΚΚΚ impediment. Poor Louis stuttered badly. But, NOT WANTING TO ΚΚΚΚ discourage Louis, the Minister decided to let him try anyway.

ΚΚΚΚ He sent the three of them away with the back seat of their cars ΚΚΚΚ stacked With Bibles. He asked them to meet with him and report the ΚΚΚΚ results of Their door-to-door selling efforts the following Sunday.

ΚΚΚΚ Anxious to find out how successful they were, the minister ΚΚΚΚ immediately Asked Jack, 'Well, Jack, how did you make out selling ΚΚΚΚ our Bibles last Week?'

ΚΚΚΚ Proudly handing the reverend an envelope, Jack replied, 'Using my ΚΚΚΚ sales Prowess, I was able to sell 20 Bibles, and here's the $200 I ΚΚΚΚ collected On behalf of the church.'

ΚΚΚΚ 'Fine job, Jack!' The minister said, vigorously shaking his hand. ΚΚΚΚ 'You Are indeed a fine salesman and the Church is indebted to you.'

ΚΚΚΚ Turning to Paul, 'And Paul, how many Bibles did you sell for the ΚΚΚΚ Church Last week?'

ΚΚΚΚ Paul, smiling and sticking out his chest, confidently replied, 'I am ΚΚΚΚ a Professional salesman. I sold 28 Bibles on behalf of the church, ΚΚΚΚ and here's $280 I collected.'

ΚΚΚΚ The minister responded, 'That's absolutely splendid, Paul. You are ΚΚΚΚ Truly a professional salesman and the church is indebted to you.'

ΚΚΚΚ Apprehensively, the minister turned to Louie and said, 'And Louie, ΚΚΚΚ did You manage to sell any Bibles last week?' Louie silently offered ΚΚΚΚ the Minister a large envelope.

ΚΚΚΚ The minister opened it and counted the contents. 'What is this?' The ΚΚΚΚ minister exclaimed. 'Louie, there's $3200 in here! Are you ΚΚΚΚ Suggesting that you sold 320 Bibles for the church, door to door, in ΚΚΚΚ Just one week?'

ΚΚΚΚ Louie just nodded. That's impossible!' both Jack and Paul said in ΚΚΚΚ Unison. 'We are professional salesmen, yet you claim to have sold 10 ΚΚΚΚ Times as many Bibles as we could.'

ΚΚΚΚ 'Yes, this does seem unlikely,'Κ said the minister who didn't want ΚΚΚΚ to offend Louie. Please, tell us how you managed to accomplish this, ΚΚΚΚ Louie.'

ΚΚΚΚ Louie sh rugged. 'I-I-I re-re-really do-do-don't kn-kn-know f ΚΚΚΚ -f-f-for Sh-sh-sh-sure,' he stammered.

ΚΚΚΚ Impatiently, Paul interrupted. 'For crying out loud, Louie, just ΚΚΚΚ tell Us what you said to them when they answered the door!'

ΚΚΚΚ 'A-a-a-all I-I-I s-s-said WA-WA-was,' Louis replied, 'W-w-w-w-would ΚΚΚΚ Y-y-y-you l-l-l-l-l-like t-t-to b-b-b-buy th-th-th-this ΚΚΚΚ B-B-B-B-Bible F-f-for t-t-ten b-b-b-bucks ---o-o-o-or--- wo-wo-would ΚΚΚΚ yo-you J-j-j-just l-like m-m-me t-t-to St-St-stand h-h-here and ΚΚΚΚ R-r-r-r-r-read it t-to y-y-you??'
