That Apple Once More.

Mrs. McSychophant, the wife of Parson McSychophant, a Texas clergyman, happened to be present when the class was being examined by the aforesaid clergyman. “Tommy,” asked the clergyman, “did Adam and Eve sin in the Garden of Eden?” “You bet they did,” replied Tommy. “Which sinned first, Adam or Eve?” Tommy scratched his head and hesitated. In order to give him a hint that Eve ha I first transgressed the parson pointed toward his wife. Tommy caught on immediately, and roared out: “Your wife sinned first!” — Texas Siftings.
