THE FUTURE

[First Lady]

An old country preacher had a teenage son, and it was getting

time the boy should give some thought to choosing a

profession. Like many young men his age, the boy didn't really

know what he wanted to do, and he didn't seem too concerned

about it. One day, while the boy was away at school, his

father decided to try an experiment. He went into the boy's

room and placed on his study table four objects.

1. A bible.

2. A silver dollar.

3. A bottle of whisky.

4. And a Playboy magazine.

'I'll just hide behind the door,' the old preacher said to

himself. 'When he comes home from school today, I'll see

which object he picks up.

If it's the bible, he's going to be a preacher like me, and

what a blessing that would be! If he picks up the dollar, he's

going to be a business man, and that would be okay, too. But

if he pic ks up the bottle, he's going to be a no-good drunken

bum, and Lord, what a shame that would be. And worst of all if

he picks up that magazine he's going to be a skirt-chasing

womanizer.'

The old man waited anxiously, and soon heard his son's foot-

steps as he entered the house whistling and headed for his

room.

The boy tossed his books on the bed, and as he turned to leave

the room he spotted the objects on the table. With curiosity

in his eye, he walked over to inspect them.

Finally, he picked up the Bible and placed it under his arm.

He picked up the silver dollar and dropped into his pocket.

He uncorked the bottle and took a big drink, while he admired

this month's centerfold.

'Lord have mercy,' the old preacher disgustedly whispered.

'He's gonna run for Congress.'
