Ten Reasons Why I Never Wash


In one parish, the pastor, apparently fed up with all the excuses given over the years as to why people don't go to church, included "Ten Reasons Why I Never Wash" in the next Sunday's bulletin:

  1. I was forced to wash as a child.

  2. People who wash are hypocrites -- they think they are cleaner than everybody else.

  3. There are so many different kinds of soap, I can't decide which one is best.

  4. I used to wash, but I got bored and stopped.

  5. I wash only on special occasions, like Christmas and Easter.

  6. None of my friends wash.

  7. I'll start washing when I get older and dirtier.

  8. I can't spare the time.

  9. The bathroom is never warm enough in winter or cool enough in summer.

  10. People who make soap are only after your money.
