The pastor stood before the congregation and said "I have bad news, I have
good news, and I have more bad news." The congregation got quiet.
"The bad news is: the church needs a new roof!" the pastor said. The
congregation groaned.
"The good news is: we have enough money for the new roof." A sigh of relief
was heard rippling through the gathered group.
"The bad new is: it's still in your pockets"
