A Preacher was watching a television show that was demonstrating hypnotism when he got the idea that, by trying it on his congregation, he could raise more money. So, on the following Sunday morning, he started swinging a gold watch in front of the already sleepy congregation and started chanting, "Put five dollars in the collection plate." When he counted the receipts, he found that it worked. The next Sunday, he repeated the experiment, except that, as he swung the watch, he asked for ten dollars. Sure enough, the collection doubled. The following Sunday, he started swinging the watch and wondered what to ask for this time. Since he was distracted by his greedy thoughts, he dropped the watch, and, as he stooped to pick it up, he muttered, "Oh shit." It took all week to clean up the church..
