  1. Once upon a time there was a minister coming to church. He had a loaf tied on the back of his bicycle to give the communion. When he was half way he missed it. He met a tramp on the road and asked him if he found anything. The tramps said "No." The minister said to him "are you sure"? The tramp said "I found a loaf." "What did you do with it said the minister"? I ate it said the tramp. "are you sure you were prepared said the minister." "I think I was well prepared said the tramp I did not get a thing to eat for the last three days."
