Don't copy if you can't paste

Not too long ago, a large seminar was held for ministers and reverends
in training. Among the facilitators were many well-known motivational
speakers. One such speaker boldly approached the pulpit and, gathering
the entire crowd's attention, said, "The best years of my life were
spent in the arms of a woman who wasn't my wife!" The crowd was shocked!
He followed up by saying, "That woman was my mother!" The crowd burst
into laughter and he gave his speech, which was well received.

About a week later, one of the ministers who had attended the seminar
decided to use that joke in his sermon. As he shyly approached the
pulpit one sunny Sunday, he tried to rehearse the joke in his head. It
was a bit foggy to him. Getting to the microphone he said loudly, "The
greatest years of my life were spent in the arms of a woman who was not
my wife!"


His congregation sat shocked, murmuring. After standing there for almost
10 seconds trying to recall the second half of the joke, the pastor
finally blurted out "...and I can't remember who she was!"
