A pastor was writing a sermon about sex, but he was a very shy man, especially when it came to taboo topics. While the sermon was intended to tell his congregation about how sex is important to a healthy marriage, he just couldn’t bring himself actually to write the word “sex”. Instead, he just decided to use the letter “S” in his written notes.
The pastor’s wife came in and saw him working. When she asked him what the “S” in his sermon notes stood for, the pastor nervously blurted out “SAILING; It’s about sailing!”
The next Sunday, the wife, unfortunately, had to visit her sick mother, so she missed the pastor’s sermon. The pastor started his sermon and was pretty nervous, but as he preached, he got more and more comfortable with the topic of sex. His congregation loved the sermon and thought that he did a wonderful job teaching of the important of sex in a marriage.
The next day, the wife ran into some of the people of the congregation. They told her what a wonderful sermon her husband had performed the day before. The wife, baffled, said “Wow, that’s a bit unexpected. He’s only ever done it twice, and both times he went overboard!”
