Peanuts

A preacher visited an elderly woman from his congregation. As he sat on the couch he notices a large bowl of peanuts on the coffee table. "Mind if I have a few?" he asked.

"No, not at all!" the woman replied.

They chat for an hour, and as the preacher stood to leave, he realized that instead of eating just a few peanuts, he had emptied most of the bowl. "I'm terribly sorry for eating all your peanuts, I really just meant to eat a few."

"Oh, that's all right," the woman said. "Ever since I lost my teeth, all I can do is suck the chocolate off them."
